[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 161898, member: 2736"] [b]Black Eye[/b] Herman I use all types of scopes ( rifle, shotgun/muzzle loader,intermeadiate eye relief, and long eye relief depending on the application and recoil. The bolt action pistols do very well with intermeadiate or shotgun / muzzle loader type scopes. Rifle scopes should only be used when more magnification is wanted/ needed. I have some pistols that require at least 16'' of eye relief to be safe due to excessive recoil ( 50+ ft/lbs) I find that under hunting conditions 7x to 9x is plenty of power out to 600yrds and hard to hold with out a very good rest. I believe in Murphy's law (if it can happen , it will happen ) so I don't tempt faith by using a scope with 3''to 4'' of eye relief with any pistol that is over 25 ft/lbs of recoil . 25# of recoil with a rifle is of no consequence because your head and sholders move with the recoil minimizing travel toward the scope. But the physics of pistol shooting is very different so be careful and have fun ( not pain ). Just an opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
