    Anybody using the Burris 2x20 handgun scope? Pros/cons? I'm considering it for one of my revolvers.

    I have a Burris 2x7 on a 22lr Contender and one on a 460S&W revolver. I also have a 3x9 on a 308 Encore pistol but they are no longer made.

    They hold up and have great field of view for pistol scopes but are a little on the heavier side. But the FOV and strength more then make up for the extra weight.

    What do you want to know?

    I've busted 2 of the 2-7x Burris scopes on my .454 Casull Super Redhawk. Got tired of sending them back for warranty repair so I'm back to iron sights for now.

    I've got a silver 2.5x8 Weaver scope on a stainless Ruger MKII Competition Target pistol. It looks kinda cool, but higher magnifications can be distracting because of how much the bullseye appears to move.

    Except for long range (for a pistol) hunting applications when you can brace it against a tree, I think a reflex sight is generally more practical.

    I ended up putting the Burris on it. So far so good. My vision really sucks. This helps.
