RE: handgun scopes?
I just put a Burris 2-7x on my Striker and so far so good.
I'd steer clear of the bushnell myself. I know they probably make some of the best scopes in the world, but the also sell some real crud too. Take the question mark out of the equation and go with something else IMHO.
If thompson put's there name on it I'm sure it would be a good quality scope. I asked a while back who made them for thompson but forgot the answer. Pull a search on thompson scopes and you'll see it.
