2x scopes in b.E.

Does anyone use a 2x pistol scope for BE..?...I know its legal, but does anyone actually use one? I have a leupold 2x pistol scope just laying around and thought I'd try it..but.......the magnification seems like it would really magnify my wobble circle..........??

Hello PP,
Darius "Doc" Young, former National Champion, used one. I'm not sure if it was the same as yours.
My first venture into optics was using Burris 2X scopes, with a fine cross-hair and a black dot...heavy combo with a 6 7/8" barreled Ruger.
You're right about it magnifying the movement, but I cleaned my first rapid with one. I'd say give it a try.

I may try it...on my taoered barrel ....I cleaned my first timed fire yesteday....100-3x At 25yds......

I've been using them for twenty + years on both my 22 High standard and on a slide mount in .45.

The only bad part is that you can see the bullet holes in the paper.

Actual magnification is around 1.7 or 1.8. Almost 2X.
