Quoted: I just scored a little .22LR Browning Buckmark pistol. I want it for plinking and minor varmint control. Any suggestions for a decent little scope for it? I've had a cheap bsa red dot on mine for years. It is quick and easy to shoot. But I'd like to try an actual magnified pistol scope too. |

I think the usual option is to use Tactical Solution's rail, and put a suitable optic on it.
What is suitable depends, but anything from a red-dot to a small pistol scope is likely reasonable. First though, try using the open sights-they may be just fine for your intended use. |

I did a Tac Sol rail topped by a Primary arms clone of a micro dot. Works out really well for a fair price. Wanted a Burris fast fire red dot but....just too costly to put on my Buckmark plinker.

That far away from your eye when shooting? C-More.
Thanks, Lee |

Hey Doc, did you grab that one that was for sale on Calguns last night?
If so, that was a nice looking pistol. |

Are you looking to equip a mini-me version of Humungus?

It came with a rail. The Burris looks nice. How well does that type of sight work on a pistol? I have this exact setup. It works amazingly well....once you know how to find the dot. A novice will have issues alligning the red dot to the window. Me, I pick it up and it's there every time. Usually they have it pointed to high. I guess it has a lower point of aim than other pistols but it has never been an issue for me. I have a threaded heavy (steel) barrel on it and my suppressor doesn't change POI in the least. I love it! Squirrels and bunnies be damned. ETA-You're coming up on 10K, congrats! |

Leupold makes a fixed 4x that you should be able to pick up used for around $150. They also make a very nice 2.5-8x but those are around $400.
Leupold also makes a 2.5x but I didn't really care for it, the field of view was almost nothing due to the small front objective. Leupold and Burris are the only handgun scopes I could use while holding at full arms length, all the others lacked the eye relief. |
