[QUOTE="subsonic, post: 16460, member: 1482"] This may seem a off topic question but I am looking for a scope for a 44Magnum chucking 300gn WFN cast bullets at 1030 fps. I know this is not a long range rifle, but the amount of holdover required is similar to a high powered rifle out to extreme ranges. I like the look of the Burris 3-12X32 compact but with a Ballistic plex reticle the dots if I calculated correctly will give the following holdovers: 1st 0.38 mils, 2nd 1.14 mils, 3rd 1.89 mils, 4th 2.8 mils. From a 70 metre zero this will give me a max range of 135 metres. Has anyone got any suggestions? I want good light gathering? Power range 3-12, 4.5-14 would be nice. Mildot reticle or even better a scope with the reticle in the top third of the image and 10 mils of holdover. Weight 16-24 oz's. So what's the perfect scope? Use's are Goats and Pigs and practice on Rabbit's since they are much more plentiful. Rifle is a integrally suppressed Ruger 77/44. [/QUOTE]
