Ruger,

I've heard as many people say it's OK to use a regular scope as I have heard say not to - so I have to figure it is pretty much a crap shoot. I would tend to believe that the finer regular scopes (Leupold) will probably standup better than others under the strain.

Personally, I'm a little too frugal (CHEAP) to take a risk like that, which is why I recommend going with the ML or Shotgun-type scopes. Besides, I couldn't see putting a $300 scope on a $150 gun that I was experimenting with in the 1st place. So I chose a lower-middle grade scope that has, and still is, serving me well. In fact, once I got it sighted where I wanted it, I have never had to change it at all. When I've tried different bullets, I have learned how to adjust the powder load to compensate and leave the scope alone - pretty nifty.

Trust God..........but keep your powder dry!
