Scope guestion

[amdak]

I have a handie rifle 500 s&w.was just wornding what would be a good scope for it.

I bought a konus pro 6x40 for $40 bucks new for my 500. I have no complaints. scope has glass etched reticle, and is supposed to be 100% recoil proof. you might check them out.

Simmons pro diamond 4X32 shot gun scope. great scopes for the money short compact and you can use low rings on a handi

   +1 for the Pro Diamond 4x32 by Simmons. I have them on my 12ga USH and 2 of my muzzleloaders. The scope has done just fine for me and I like the long eye relief they have and have held up to the recoil so far. I mounted one on my Handi 500 S&W but haven't been out to shoot it yet......

I do not like to skimp on glass. Buy the best you can afford. After all, if you can't see or it dosen't hold zero what good is it to you? The 500 is no slouch in the recoil department.

I like Leupold, but unless you buy used they are costly. Many here like the Nikons for just over 100 bucks.

I like the pro diamond scope 4x32.  I have one on my 20ga NEF and on my Huntsman.  No problems with either.

If you want one that will last I'd suggest the Nikon Prostaff 2-7X32.

thanks swampman.i was looking at the nikon or a leupold.

Check out ebay........make sure you're getting a new scope and not a refurb.  I usually pay 109.00 shipped.

I bought one of the Nikon 2X7X32 pro staff shot gun scopes at Dick's SG had a $20 rewards points coupon and a 20 Percent off coupon I was out the door for $104 and change.
