Ultimate handgun scope - Leupold VX-3 Handgun 2.5-8x33mm Rifle Scope, 1" Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

This scope is of top quality and performance. On my super redhawk 7.5 inch barrel it fits perfectly and looks great. I have the weigand scope mount for the 44 mag super redhawk. I'd have to say Leopold did well in building this scope. It is a little less than 10 inches long. I wanted the best for my out in the woods revolver and this is certainly it for me. The field of view changes because it is a variable magnification scope. It goes from 2.5X up to 8X. It is very easy to look through and get a quick sight picture because of the large diameter lenses. The 24 K gold ring and medallion are a nice touch for all you gold bugs out there. The coating on the Matt Black version reminds me of a diamond ion bond coating which resists scratches. It might be a little big for really short revolvers and handguns. Leopold makes shorter ones too. I like that it adds weight to my 44 magnum helping reduce muzzle flip. You get what you pay for with this scope. Truly awesome and professional.
