    The SWFA SS 1-4x will be in your budget on Black Friday. It might come with a mount at that price.

      You can go to Vortex Optics web sight and use their ballistic app to get a drop chart for your specific scope and cartridge. I had my Strike Eagle on my 16” Faxon 6.5 Grendel to test. I decided to go to a different Vortex Optic.

      I’ll try to upload the screen shot of the Strike Eagle hold overs for a Hornady 123 grain A-Max at 2200 FPS at my shooting location.

        Leupold 1.5-4 MARK AR, nice thing about this optic is the weight at mere 9.5oz which helps keep that handy feel to the pistol, that said most offererings from Leupold are light weight when compared to its competition. Most other manufactures scopes tip the scales at 15+oz's or more.

          If you can get to $400 or wait for Black Friday it might make the Burris RT6 feasible.

            Nothing kills the incentive of men faster than a healthy sense of entitlement. Nothing kills entitlement faster than a healthy sense of achievement.

                Here's one that a friend of mine uses on a .30 carbine Ruger revolver. This one is very clear and rock solid. Super long eye relief. I've fired it on one occasion and, while scoped pistols aren't my thing, it was surprisingly easy to acquire the target with this particular scope.

                If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

                  So you must think about how you will actually be firing this weapon. are you going to fire from an extended arm position like a pistol or a "close to shoulder", cheek welded to arm brace/buffer position? I built my pistol with the intent that I would fire with my cheek welded to the arm brace and the brace might even occasionally, in the process of shooting, touch my shoulder. For me a standard rifle scope with adequate eye relief will suffice, some offer more than others. I have settled on a Leopold VX-1 2-7x33 LR Duplex. Will do what I need with a pistol and weighs 9.9 oz and cost less than 200 just waiting on Christmas sales. There are scout scopes out there too if your looking for long eye relief, they are not an improvement over pistol scopes really though.
