Crazy trophy room & dead zoo is the only accurate description for it I can come up with. Several buffalo, giraffe, hyena, 2 lions, a cougar, elk, hippo & every kind of African -buk & gazelle. Even a 15' crocodile. One of those places you need several visits to really take it all in.

Bula,....Glad to hear you’re liking it. It was the SS I assume. I had both and sold them, since Burris is my direct supporter.

A slow bonding process,but yes, am liking. The SS one, correct. Friend to use it for bear in a few weeks, while I pack the 480's. I want the SBHH for deer hunting.

You only have to have a battery powered red dot go out once to make you look squinty eyed at them for anything significant. Went hard to slide mounted scopes on my 1911 paper punchers in the 80s for that simple reason. Never had a light go out in a match but stood next to shooters that did. The Burris 2X and 1X mounted on the slide of a 45 wadcuttergun NEVER once failed. I do like red dots for game guns and went back to them via Aimpoint 9000SC a short while back. The trijicon, on all the time, change the battery once a year, works good but you only get to sell me two machine screws for $20 and charge me $10 shipping to get permanently barred from my house.

4x Leupold. 2x is not enough magnification and the Leupold scope is stronger and less likely to go south in the event of the scope taking a beating.

For what you want, I’d urge you to consider either a variable or a 4x scope. I’ve got a variable weaver on my 41 Redhawk and SRH and they’ve held up well. Otherwise I’ve got all fixed power Burris or Leupold scopes. Both stand behind their products. Good luck with your search.
The Burris 4x I have on my 480 Ruger has held up just fine after well over 1K rounds.

I’ve been hunting with red dots for more than a dozen years and have yet to experience a failure in the field - knock on wood. I just started playing with a new Burris fixed 2 power scope and the clarity is really good. I’m liking it a lot this far.
