pistol vs rifle scope
Just picked up a 14" 30-30 barrel for my T. Contender. This will be used for hunting. Seems to me a compact rifle scope would work well shooting out of a stand/blind where short eye relief is not a problem. I'm leaning this way due to the few choices I'm finding in pistol scopes. What say you experts?

Ya gots to be able to hold it tight enough so as not to get "ring around the eye".

Pelican has it nailed. Saw a guy once at a gun show carrying a TC pistol with a scope on it. I asked if it was for sale. He said yes. I asked how much. He said "You'll have to talk to him, (pointing to the guy behind him) its his." That guy looked up sheepishly. He had a lot of swelling and more than a dozen stitches around his eye. He had put a rifle scope on his TC pistol and fired once, yes one shot. Opened him up like a cookie cutter. 0 -
Guess there's one in every "crowd;" you'd think that if'n that T/C'd been fired BEFORE the rifle scope had been added they guy with his finger on the trigger (& now the 'scope in his EYE) would have known better... if it ain't at arm's length, it's gonna' bite.Now I DO admit to having a "rifle" scope on one of my 14" T/C's but that one's chambered for 22LR.The more people on Earth the thinner "Common Sense" seems to be spread amongst them. 0 -
A decent compact rifle scope or shotgun scope is going to cost as much as a good pistol scope and the choices will be almost identical in magnification,objective size and clarity.IMHO stick to a pistol scope.I have a variable T/C scope I am very happy with and a $50 Simmons that is a pain in the a$$. 0 -
Thanks for the advice gentlemen. I've found a Leupold pistol scope which should do the job. 0
