Scope for .460 S&W?  Any ideas/suggestions?

Looking for a variable to use from 15yards out to 150yards?  Burris Leupold??

Thanks!

Leupold 2.5X8  as my first choice and Bushnell's 2X6

 A good fixed 2X will work for deer, but I would also recomand the Leupold 2 1/2 x 8. It`s far better at the range or when varmient hunting. I alsoo like a Harris 27" by-pod on my forarm. It`s just right to rest thr butt of the gun on your knee when sitting on the ground, almost like shooting from the bench.

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

How about any options for a Red-Dot type?

Much appreciated!!!

To get the full potential of the 460 a scope would be better than a red-dot in my opinion. Now if you don't plain on shooting more than 100 yards, get a Ultra-dot Match dot sight.
