Scope for the GP 100?

[YZ-80]

Hi guys,

I just ordered a Jack Weigand picatinny rail for my 6" GP100. I'm wanting to get an optic that will hold up and Won't break the bank in this semi-hyper inflationary environment we've found ourselves in. I'm lookin at the Burris 2 X 7 X 32mm for about $330 bucks. Anyone have experience with this scope? Are there others to consider in the price range?

Thanks!

The Burris 2-7 is the only scope I use on on my large caliber revolvers. Never had a problem in 30 years.

I've got one on my 450 marlin it's been good for a couple moose hunts so far.

I've had a Leupold fixed power 4X on my 6.5" S&W 629 for several years that performs like a champ. No issues. Haven't wanted for more power having killed elk out to 110 yards.

Long range has a different meaning when you use a pistol

I've used the Leupold 4x and want to give the Burris a try in the future. I have a coulpe of friends that use the and have been very happy.

Thank you all for the feedback. I've had this GP 100 for about 12 years now and quite honestly haven't shot it much at all. I had an old pound of Unique and load both .38 spl and .357. It is really fun to shoot! I figured for about 475 bucks, I could take it to the next level so Why not? I do have my own property so I'll get familiar with it when I get the optic and maybe go after a crop damage doe in the late season. I hope to get the scope for my birthday on 11/4. I'm expecting the Weigand rail and silver rings this week. Very excited!

Something to be aware of on the Burris handgun scopes; the eye relief changes when you change the power/magnification. The Leupold's eye relief stays constant throughout the power/magnification range.

I think for a variable pistol scope Leupold is a more expensive and slightly better option But the Burris will do the job. I had the same on my SRH and 353 and were great for square range ammo testing but for off hand hunting I went back to red dots.
