I just aquired a brand new Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x32 Duplex Pistol scope....
I have a Rear Grip Rem 700 chassis pistol that will be in 7mm-08(just dropped off barrel for muzzle brake install). I have done all testing with rifle scopes to this point.
I have not shot this pistol with a brake or any other pistol like it with a brake. I know specialty pistol guys tend to like rifle scopes. Do I even give this a try or sell as new and get equal value rifle scope for this project?
I realize this could be preference thing and I may never know until I try it. I have other barrels I could try scope on but none with muzzle brake until 7mm gets back to me. Or do I wait to try with braked 7mm-08. I use burris signature rings with inserts which are great at not leaving scope marks but I also would not sell as new never mounted if I took to the range and tried it to see if I like pistol scopes.
