VTbowman Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Just wanting some opinions on whats good on an Encore pistol. I like high mag but not sure on a handgun. I plan to eventually take whitetails at 150 yards or less with my 7mm.08. I know I want a Burris with ballistic plex but not sure which mag to get. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Burris 2-7x32 or 3-12x32???? Just picked up a Burris 2-7X w/ballistic plex today. Seems like a winner. Either will do fine. You just have to decide. It isn't likely you'll ever use much magnification over 5 while actually hunting. It is nice however to have the extra when bench shooting. I'll eventually have a 3-12 on my .223 XP100 when it gets completed. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Burris 2-7x32 or 3-12x32???? I like the 3-12x scopes on my varmint chambered handguns. I also install them for load development to allow me to aim as accurately as possible on the bench. Like 'gunnr said, its hard to use high mag while deer hunting. I know it is for me. I gues sif you were hunting fields from a blind or treestand with a gun rest it would be ok. The 2-7x will serve you very well for hunting big game. The B-Plex will not be much of an advantage out to 150 yards with a 7-08. It would be cool for the 200-300 yard shots on varmints or targets though.

VTbowman Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Burris 2-7x32 or 3-12x32???? The higher mag is key to sighting in IMHO but is it worth the extra $50? I feel it is. As for hunting I have 2 nice box stands that over look varied ranges in fields, one of which has a 360* view and the shortess shot is 60 yards with, the longest being over 350. But I hunt tree stands in the woods too with 100 yard shooting lanes cut. Railing and pads included. I have my share of "good rests" to hunt from. I do plan to get a pair of good shooting sticks for those times I am not in either type of stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyote Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Burris 2-7x32 or 3-12x32???? Where I hunt the 3X12 would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Burris 2-7x32 or 3-12x32???? I tell everyone its what I want to put on my Encore and get crap for having a 12x scope on a hand gun. Its not like I will leave it at 12x from here on out. I just like to know I have the mag if I need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Burris 2-7x32 or 3-12x32???? I heard that. I have 3 of them on my hand held rifles. It's my favorite handgun scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
