RE: Which HandGun Scope ??????
Fisrt of all I have to ask a question. What is the intent purpose of this set-up? Hunting,target or self defense? I had hunted with T/C Encore with three 15" barrels. 7mmbr. open sights,7mm-08 with a Tasco 4x and 35 Whelen with a Leupold 2x. Also hunted witha 7-1/2" Ruger Super Redhawk 44mag. with a Millet Red Dot Scope on it during deer and elk season,then red dot comes off then goes onto 6-7/8" Ruger Side Slab 22lr. for spring time ground squirrel hunts. Red Dot Scope is faster to put onto target due to no power. It is good for 100yds. due to a 3moa. dot size in scope. If you are planning shooting anything over 100yds. I would recommend a 2x scope. Either in a Leupold or Burris.

I own a Ruger Super Redhawk in .480 Ruger with a 7.5" BBL.
I have a Burris 3-12 Handgun scope, w/ ballistic plex , on it.
It is a great rig. And I don't have eye relief problems.
I also would recommend the Burris. I own a Nikon 2.5 - 8 also....Bought it new ....
It did not hold up to the .480.
I am sending it back for replacement.

For someones FIRST handgun scope-ALWAYS get a 2x scope of any of the top brands. A 2x-7x will be even better in long term but start out with it set on 2x. The reason for this is the more magnifacation will show pronounced wobble/shaking and has a much smaller exit pupil. This transalates to not being able to "see thru" scope as easy.

Around 50 yards or so.
