Recommend me a 2x pistol scope

[636]

I'll be picking up a Smith & Wesson 617 10 rounder pretty soon and I'd like to add a scope to the revolver.

My intended purpose is 50 yard silhouette shooting so anything more than 2x is way overkill.

I'd like to stay about the $200 price range as possible.

Silver finish would be nice.

Any suggestions?

I have a Burris 1.5-4x handgun scope and a couple of older Leupold 2x M8s. One M8's permanently mounted on a S&W 27-2 with an 8" barrel, and I like it a lot, but I'm a Leupold fan. You can get them used under your price range, which is relatively low risk with Leupold due to their excellent warranty.

One thing to consider is the weight. I use the Burris more on rifle scout mounts than on handguns because it's a good bit bigger and heavier than the Leupolds, due to the variable mag.

For a handgun, I prefer lighter and shorter where possible. Recoil won't be an issue with the 617, so you can get by with a lesser scope if necessary.

Well it turns out that my wife decided to give my birthday present early. I've got a Leupold FX-II on order at my local shop. I guess she made the decision for me.

That's a good choice. Congrats.
