    Default scope for hunting handgun

    Hi all.
    As I have mentioned before, my 44 Mag license was approved a couple of days ago.

    i would like to mount a scope, but I have a couple of questions

    1) Do any of you have a handgun scope lying around please
    2) Would red dot sight work on this caliber?
    3) What about a tactical red dot sight?

    Please advise, thanks it is appreciated

    A mate of mine has a couple long eye relief scopes on his hunting handguns (Thompson, Freedom Arms and Ruger 44Mag) and all are of the Bushnell variety.

    The scopes themselves are pretty scarce since not may people seem to want to go handgun hunting.

    I saw a while ago that GunBroker had someone selling a Leupold Handgun scope, not sure if it's still available though.

    Just one small word of advice, make sure that whoever fits the scope does a good job, the 44 Mag can rattle a scope off it's cheap bases and rings in no time flat

    I have a OKO red dot sight if you are interested. The mount is for a Z88/SP1 but I am sure it can be modified.
