Recently bought this thing after watching too many You tube vids.
I didn’t really want to add a big scope, but with my eyes I’m not enjoying this thing at all. I can only see one of the three critical things, rear ghost ring, front sight or target and past 50 yards not very well. Firstly I put a Vortex Razor 3moa red dot on it thinking this will help but even at 25 yards the dot is too big imo, so thats on the pistol now and might be for sale if that doesn’t work. Next I bought a Leupold 1moa red dot which has very high mounts and seems like a cheap crappy device to me, albeit very heavy duty lol, even on the lowest setting the dot has a halo that looks like a skewed piece of paper behind the dot at 50 yards (about 4x the size of the dot) and on increasing the brightness just makes the dot and halo bigger still, more like 3moa than 1 - returning or using as a credit for the next attempt hopefully.
So, open sights and 1x mag red dots don’t work for me. I’ll try swapping my 223 scope onto it to see how it goes. Its a GPO passion red dot, 2.5-15x56 probably a bit bulky but its not a bad scope and if I can get it back far enough for eye relief at least I’ll be able to see how the 44 shoots.
Has anyone got a scope on a similar lever action that you’re really happy with out to 100 - 150 yards? Probably at least 10x mag and I like turrets without top cap and big numbers, mildot retical would be nice too btw
Not too worried about price, just want something that works great.
Thanks
