I'll save the background on the question...I hope I'm in the right forum.
What are some inexpensive (lets say <$50) optic choices for a Ruger .22 pistol? I want something for a 5" 22/45 to use at the range for running steel plates @ ranges from 10 yards to 25 yards. Maybe squirrels next year.
I hate to sound like such a novice, but I'll admit it - that's what I am. I've never looked for pistol optics before and I don't even know what's out there. I had someone suggest a "red dot" - Is that what it sounds like? Any magnification on those?Have experience with rifle scopes and have seen some high-end ads for pistol scopes, but I'm looking for entry-level stuff, not big bucks.
Thanks,
