Yes, it is the handgun cartridge but in an H&R single shot rifle. Bought it on a whim and have yet to shoot it. Reloading some 2,000 fps 158's and 1,700 fps 180's for fun and maybe a few tiny FL deer.
I have a red dot and was going to use that but the battery went...very quickly with the power "off"...irritated me. So I want a scope with a regular recticle, good without battery. Looking for best bang for buck. I can not justify a $300+ scope on a $175 gun that's only good for 100 yards. (I use Leupy's on my hunting rifles - - just can not justify the $$$ on a low use gun - the reloading is purely for stress relief...) Recoil should be pretty soft. Will lean towards some low light capabilities. Would like a 2-7 or 1-4 or similar power scope... Did I say CHEAP? Under $150 for sure. Burris FFII is tempting at $139. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

Either the Viper listed above or a fixed power 4X. There are several good ones that won't break the bank. The Weaver 4X38 @ $135 isn't half bad or the Sightron SII @ $187 is a step up.

I also like the Viper for this application, but the Weaver v3 mentioned above is also a great inexpensive scope.

I received my Vortex Viper 2-7x32.
Very nice - crisp clean picture. Used it on a H&R single shot .357mag rifle. Could easily see the bullet holes at 100 yards, perhaps better than my Redfield Illuminator (original version). I'm well pleased with it.
