Cool Handgun Scope

Which handgun scope would you handgun owners pick for a T/C Encore .500 S&W Mag. http://swfa.com/Burris-2-7x32-Handgun-Scope-P1833.aspx http://swfa.com/Leupold-25-8x32-VX-3...pe-P42157.aspx Thanks.

My choice would be Burris over the Leupold. I have both and the last time I bought a pistol scope I bought a Bushnell and to my eyes the Bushnell is brighter and clearer than either Burris or Leupold. http://swfa.com/Bushnell-2-6x32-Elit...pe-P48265.aspx

I'd also go with the Burris over the Leupie. I have a 4X Burris on an Encore in .308 and it seems to be clearer than the Leupie I have on a Contender 45/70. I also have a Nikon 1.5-5X on a .223 Contender barrel that may be the best of them all. I've also heard the Bushnell Elite's are nice, but don't have any personal experience with them.

I have both Burris LER, Long Eye Relife, and Leupold on my Lone Eagles and my Smith .460 and i really like the Burris over the Leupold myself. I can set them at the same setting side by side on the bench and look at the same target and the Burris is clearer. I don't wear or need (I think!!) yet so if that matters I don't know.

SecondChance, you have Lone Eagles too. Great, I have 3 of them. Fun to shoot too. Mine are 223, 308 and 35 Rem.
