I did not seriously consider a scope for mine. The standard aperture sight works fine. BTW, I suspect that my handloads--while a bit warm, but loaded below the maximum because I am using the dippers rather than weighing the charges or using a "serious" powder measure--are considerably cooler than the factory fodder. Even so, it does kick a mite. I can easily believe that it will destroy scopes and rings after what it did to the synthetic fore end. I really don't need that nice crescent shaped scar over my right eye.
For me, it is quite simply a carry gun to take into the bushes.
BTW, since I have the 460, I feel that I have no need for a 45-70, 450 Marlin, 458 Winchester Mag,.... For those unfamiliar with the round, imagine a straight-walled case the diameter of a 45 Colt but almost as long as a 308 case that is built for high pressure loads. After researching the round (before purchase), I decided that it was much better suited as a carbine, rather than a handgun, round. I understand that in the longer S&W handgun barrels, the rifling starts slow and gets progressively faster as you get close to the muzzle. And, I am not really interested in ever firing a handgun in 460 S&W (I hope I am getting wiser as I get older).
