.454 Casull scope?

[TheeBadOne]

Finally getting serious about scoping my SRH .454 and would appreciate any experiance/advice. Go with a 2x scope or are there electronic red dot scopes that can take the punishment?

Leupold, either 2 or 4 X would be my recomendation.

I have heard that burris takes that type of pounding as well, but no personal experience with them.

I use mine for hunting, and any type of beam emmiting sights are illegal, so I haven't played with them.

I bought a 2x Leupold for my Raging Bull, have yet to put it on, but, should work ok.......another good scope is the Bushnell 2-6x that used to be made by B&L..........Burris is another.......I have a Simmons 2.5-7x Gold Medal on my 375JDJ, Leupold 2.5-8x on my Savage Striker in 308, a T/C scope on my Contender in 44 Mag.......one of these days will try Redfield scopes also......

I have the Leupold 2X on my SRH, it is very nice, I highly recomend it.

Thanks guys, so far is sounds like the Leupold or Burris for the 2x, but any experiance with a red dot electronic site like an AimPoint or the Holo site?

my simmons 4x scope could not take the punishment on my raging bull

I have a Leupold 2X EER scope that has seen use on 3 different 44 Mag revolvers with no problems. The scope is very compact and light - but the optics are very sharp and crisp , very highly defined plex reticle. An excellent revolver scope. The only drawback for some might be lack of click adjustments - the scope uses friction style adjustments - which for my revolver uses is not a factor.

I have used Burris handgun scopes mostly on my Contenders. All have been excellent scopes. The same Hi-Lume multicoatings they use in their Signature line is also used in thier Fullfield and handgun scope line.

I've never yet found a red dot scope that would last more than a couple of hundred rounds from a big boomer. The best I've seen was a Tasco Aimpoint (the little thingy that looks like a small windshield on a flat base, not a tube-type sight): that one lasted for a carefully-counted 372 rounds on a Ruger in .44 Magnum. The same sight on a Ruger .454 Casull lasted 27 rounds, I'm told!!!
