Pretty self explanatory, what's your favorite pistol scope option? Magnified or otherwise what do you think offers the best bang for your buck? Their aren't nearly the large number of options out there that there are for rifle scopes, and I haven't found any super high end pistol scopes from the likes of Swarovski, Schmidt and Bender, nightforce ect... But what has been your experiences? What's clear, holds up to massive recoil, holds zero between range and hunting trips and the click values for adjusting move the reticle the correct amount?
My personal favorite so far is the Leupold VX3 2.5x-8x but also like the Burris 2x-7x. The Burris got exchanged once because of some debris ended up on the inside of the glass from the recoil of my 460 S&W mag, but it has performed flawlessly on my 44 mag Redhawk ever since. I tried the fixed power Cabelas scope (dad gave me for christmas a few years back) but it didn't hold up to the recoil of the 460 S&W, and so the Leupold VX3 wound up being the one swapped back and forth from my 460 to my Encore Barrels.
