gallery rifle scope

[.357shooter 990]

just picked up my new .357 henry and need suggestions for a nice little scope.my eyes are not up to the job and i am looking to spend up to £350 for something like a 2-7x36 ish compact scope that is not to too big looking for my little u/lever.

I had a Nikon 2-7 on my w94 and prefer the optics to luepold!

Still have it, now on my Brno 22.

To be honest though a half decent 4x or 6x would do.

Good choice of rifle by the way.

thank you it is so smooth compared to my 2009 marlin and no more floppy trigger

so it turns out i can not shoot without a scope so i had to go back to the shop to get a rail and new mounts to fit an old niko stirling platinum 1.5-6x36 "nightforce" i think scope.results were good for a new gun.shot a 97 ex 100 standing at 20y then moved out to 50y and shot a 10 shot group rested of a bench

That's a good start.

My 94  did some fantastic shots on reloads with A2400.

It excelled with PPU 357 fmj also.

Great guns, several of my club members have this type of underlever, various makes.     One actually has an Original Winchester 1892 44-40 with hexagon barrel, it is as sweet as they come to shoot.

Anyway, NONE of them has a scope so not much I can say, except my eyes have got to the stage of needing a scope as well.

well on the advise from the gun shop my new vortex crossfire scout 2-7x32 turned up today but it could not be used on my rifle.it is more like a pistol scope and needed to be fitted on the end of barrel to get the eye relief right.so a vortex strike eagle 1-6x24 was mounted instead .will zero the little magnum tomorrow, could not get over the picture from that little lens as it is only 24mm

[Underdog 2,337]

Little magnum!

No sir. I use to lob mine over 600yds and get very very close!

i know it is a well underestimated calibre.i have a lot of respect for it and have shown to other people just how powerfull this is.actually was asked up the club yesterday what is the biggest animal that can be leagally taken with it.had to think about it but i think it is fox which if true does make you wonder why the yanks can shoot wild boar,black bear and other much larger animals with it

Our laws are crazy.

It's capable for all our deer but 'experts' got in the way!

It is close to 30wcf which is deer legal! The deer would not tell the difference.

Oh and I have shot large red deer stags with a 30wcf.
