[QUOTE="wmtelle, post: 827827, member: 69782"] Varmint Hunter hit the nail on the head. Eye relief is critical on handgun scopes. Using a riflescope will eventually result in "wearing the scope" due to recoil, IF you managed to even see your target. Also various manufacturers provide different eye relief for their handgun scopes. If you have long arms, you will probably prefer a Bushnell because Leupold and Burris choose field of view over eye relief and end up with a "short" eye relief. Make sure to use "heavy duty" rings and bases also. Proper mounting techniques are also critical. Recoil from even a .44 mag subjects mounting systems to more stress than do a lot of the big bore rifles. Welcome to the world of scoped handgunning. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do... [/QUOTE]
