Not here yet. Just made the deal on Tuesday and sending the funds today. Probably won't have a scope for a few months at least.

Sent the check now.
Happened to be at my LGS today. Decided to ask about handgun scopes.
He indicated just under $400 is the bottom for scopes that will hold up to 460 or even 454 loads. Agree?
I was hoping I could get a fixed 2x for a bit less.

Never run a 454 or a 460 but I've used a Bushnell on a hot running .444 and had no troubles. And my 358 Bower come to think of it.
I must be hunting a different species of whitetail deer. I've managed
to take somewhere around 60-70 deer and most of them with the
lowly .243 Winchester. Magnum calibers (handgun or rifle) are not
necessary for whitetail deer and in my opinion most deer hunters
can't shoot magnums well enough to humanely take deer. Why?
They don't shoot enough to be proficient.

In many areas you wouldn't be shooting any deer with your .243, lowly or not. It's shotgun or straightwall only. I can't imagine hunting anything I can't kill with my 357max, but many times I had that .444 marlin in the field and was comforted by the margin of error it gave me. The .460 is a very useful cartridge in the hunting arena, especially if you have any ideas of going after bigger game than whitetail.

As Okie said, 243 is not an option for me. 460 would not be my first choice if all cartridges were on the table.
460 seems to give me a pretty wide range of ballistic characteristic with different loads from 45 colt to the 460. 500 sw cant shoot the light bullets well an 44 mag can't be used on some game I would like to hunt down the road. I imagine there are even sabbotted rounds out there somewhere.
I can load to go after pretty much any game in the world.
