I have one with a scope, and one with iron sights. I enjoy both. I shoot both about the same out to 50 yards. The scoped one wins on any target further out.

I came across one on a local forum a few months ago and thought seriously about buying it but I figured it would be really loud, like a .357 mag. I know we are supposed to wear ear protection and I do, but sometimes you’re gonna shoot the dang thing without and I can’t stand that CRACK ! That’s why I don’t own anything in .357 mag.  That’s a nice specimen though, and would make a great deer slayer ! |

I love my Maxi's. They all like the Keith bullet on 4227.

You really need the Bradshaw/ Martin bullet for that EXCELLENT gun. Kudos on getting it. (PS; If you ever decide to sell the box or shipper,, this collector would be interested!) |

Congratulations on your new Maxi. They make great whitetail guns.
I have a scoped 10 1/2" and a 7 1/2" with a Delta Point Pro. I hunt with both according to what I expect the range to be. Any possibility of a shot over 75 yards and I take the scoped revolver. Also the scope helps a lot in picking a clear shooting lane through cover, so overall I have more confidence in the scoped gun. However, you have to d/t for a scope mount, but can use only the rear sight screw hole for a red dot mount, so that might be a factor in deciding to scope or dot.

Shoot it with the fiber optic sight before you make any changes
It might surprise you
I think Williams makes a rear sight for this revolver with fiber optic
The combination is like landing lights for low light condition, I find this far better than a red dot or holographic sight for woods or twilight use

My 500Max uses the sights FZ speaks of, they do allow for great visibility and provide more than enough precision. Mine accounted for a pronghorn at 85yards, I do recommend either shimming the rear or dimpling the underside of the rear to keep side to side movement at a minimum.
