Found an old Tasco 1.25-4x pistol scope. Don't know where it came from, but appears like new. Thinking about putting it on a Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull. Have a Bushnell 2-6x on it now that is still functional but a little beat up.
Have inquired about the Tasco ruggedness. Regardless of the reply, if any, I may go with a Burris 2x due to the high recoil. Fixed power should be tougher, and I seldom cranked the Bushnell above 2x anyway.
In any case I'll be putting a scope on a straight pull Swiss 7.5x55 in the scout configuration. Either the Tasco or the Bushnell.

Pulled the Bushnell off the 454 today. It's still functional but beat up to hell and back. The magnification ring is lose, and the housing material has been smeared by the rings. Ordered a fixed 2x Burris to replace it.
Decided to not trust the Tasco with that kind of recoil. I'll put it on the Swiss.
