Ruger Charger pistol or rifle scope?

[PGTMG]

I have a Charger that I have been using with a pistol scope (Redfield 2x7). My thought is to swap it for a rifle scope. Anyone currently doing this?

rifle scopes will have shorter eye relief... i would stick w/ pistol scopes.

I agree. The red dot on my Charger works great.

Even with a muzzleloader scope you'd only be working with maybe 5 inches of relief at best.

Yup. I use a pistol scope for that reason.

I thought due to the shape of the gun, lack of recoil, and mostly shooting off the bipod a rifle scope would work better. I am considering the red dot now.

Maybe if you feel like getting really hunched up on it every time you shoot it...

I think a pistol scope would be best.

We have mounted both. Its a tack driver at 50 yrds with a good scope and good ammo. Now most of our shooting is indoors at 25 or less switched to the red dot.

I am thinking about using it to shoot long distance (out to 200 yards). I am going to try a rifle scope on it.

Try a scout scope, longer eye relief with some magnification
