[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1271944, member: 10178"] One thing that many do not take into thought when going from rifle to pistol hunting is what room you have if you are using a shooting house type of stand. If your shooting window is not really big you will damage your pistol if it is a hard recoiling one. It will rise and hit the top of your window and usually break your scope. This happened to my friend with his new Red Hawk 454. Window was only 18" high which is plenty room for most any deer rifle to recoil and not hit anyplace. Pistol was another thing. Broke his scope on opening day of the season and he could not afford to purchase another one to fill in until he sent the broken one back to the factory for "replacement". No way they could have fixed the old one with the smashed tube. My 30-30AI 14" barrel Contender does fine out of same window. [/QUOTE]
