I need a not-to-pricey scope for load testing my Super 14 Contender .357 Max.

The barrel has the EABCO sight installed, which has the Weaver base and 3-rings.

Since it will only be used for this purpose, I don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Suggestions?

For the Big Bore targets, yes, a 180 or 200gr bullet is helpful. However loads do not need to punish you if you can hold velocity to around 1200fps. Us...

To be fair to everyone, it would need to be purchased. I figured the SBH would be the best option, just th...

Howdy, I'm a long-time revolver nut. Used to hoot NRA way back when, till I got sick of tacos. Even though the nearest match is at least three hours away, a member at my local gun club got me interested again. I've been shooting magnum revolvers 40 years, so recoil/reloading aren't a problem, I just...
