Nice looking setup, Igor. Is there any type of reticle that works better than others with the long eye relief?
To tell you the truth I didn't explore any other options. I've always been comfortable with the Leupold Duplex reticle on my rifles, so I just went with that one.

:yeah:
I am looking at a Leupold VX-3 Pistol Scope 2.5-8x 32mm Duplex Reticle for a 7.5" Ruger SRH and Encore pistol

Nice scope. That scope would be my first choice, for sure. My gun fund was a little low at the time, and I found the M8-4x used at the gun show.

And Leupold has a veteran discount program, if you qualify.

Guys, I'm looking for recommendations and things to consider in regards to putting a scope on my Ruger Redhawk .41 mag. Mainly used for bear/cougar while archery hunting deer. Thanks for any info, Ken
The scope thing makes me think you want to shoot further, as in hunting bear and cougar. Better read the regs. Cant do that while bowhunting deer or elk. Can only have a sidearm for personal defense. You go shooting a bear or cat with that thing and tagging it while youre bowhunting, thats illegal.

Now that ive reread it, you can't even handgun hunt bear or cougar in an area when archery deer or elk season is open even though it says any legal weapon for both bear and cougar. Huh, maybe wdfw needs to reword something somewhere. :bash: Thanks for the reminder.

Re: regs, I just reread it and did not see anything about a suspension of bear or cougar during overlapping seasons with archery deer or elk. Seems like you could just say you were archery hunting bear and had a sidearm too, but I could be misinterpreting it.

Damn Bango, I had read that before but it had never applied so I just blew it off as another rule that makes you go, huh?

You can, just not if you are actively hunting deer or elk with a bow during an archery season

Field of view is already an issue with long eye relief scopes and only gets worse with magnification. For those reasons I like the Leupold M8 2x. Used ones a pretty inexpensive too.

If you have an qrchery deer tag in your pocket, and a bow with you, during archery deer season, youre hunting deer.

I would argue that in court. If the warden asks me what I'm hunting and I say bear, even though it's deer season and I have a tag, he can get bent!
