I am getting a Smith & Wesson 686 6" 357 Mag real soon. I am going to put a
scope on it. I am not going to get a variable. I am not made of money, so a
Leupold is 1,000,000 miles out of the question. I can get the Swift and the
Simmons for pretty much the same price. Around $100 including shipping. I
am looking at using a Weaver no drill and tap base with a set of Warne low
rings. I plan on using this setup for hunting, target shooting at 50 yards+, and
general blasting. In a perfect world, I would prefer to just use iron sights, but
my eyes aren't what they used to be. I really need the extra magnification for
50-100 yard shooting. What are your opinions on this setup?
