I've been on a .22LR binge lately (I'm up to 10 launching platforms for it) which has taken a turn to wheel-guns.
Yesterday I stumbled across a pristine LNIB S&W 17-6 with a 8-3/8th's inch barrel, complete with scope mount, box, paperwork & everything. Needless to say it followed me home.
I've been debating whether to put a red-dot sight or a magnified scope on it or not, or if just to leave it iron-sighted (though I have a great Model 17 6-inch with iron-sights to fill that role). I may start shooting comptatively with it, or just stick to the plinker roll I've been using my .22s for.
I have a nice variable power scope on my Super Redhawk .44 Magnum and it's great, but that's a .44 and this is a .22....
Can I get some opinions on slapping a scope on this gun?
