I need a scope or dot, or holograph. I use Nikon Pro-Staff's on most of my rifles, and love them. I have a few Bushnell Trophy red dot scopes on some firearms - my son's .22 and .357 Max rifle, as well as a .40 carbine I use for having fun with at the range. They have been good optics too.
However, they all seem really big. The other day, I started thinking about maybe trying a EoTech on it, but it still seems big.
This is going on a 15" barrelled 7mm-08 pistol, to be used for deer hunting. Max range will probably be between 50 and 75 yards, and thus my thoughts on the dot or holograph type. Or do you think I'd be better off with a low power scope? I've never used a pistol to hunt, so this is new territory for me.
All the best,
Glenn
If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

Hey Glen,
I use a Burris 2-6 but I need to shoot a little farther most of the time. My very first pistol scope was a TC 2.5X20. It's a cheap scope but if you want to try it out I'll ship it to you. The nice thing about is that it is small and very light weight.
