Remember the 80s and 90s when handgun hunting was gaining traction? Guys like Bill Wilson and JD Jones were whacking big critters with revolvers and TC Contenders.
A friend called me a couple of months ago knowing I’m always in the mood for a bargain, plus I have an affinity for Leupold products. I said “What cha got?” Leupold 2 power pistol scope was the reply. A hundred fifty dollars later, and I was the owner of said scope.
I had the base and rings laying around, so I thought “Why not put it on that 617?” For some odd reason, I think it looks kind of cool. I always knew this was a good shooting 22 revolver. (It better be, it’s gone back 3 times!) I shoot 5 shot groups. At 100 yards I’ve gotten groups as small as 3.5 inches. My best at 25 yards is just under a half inch. No way can I do that with irons. I doubt if I could do that with a red dot, but the dot would have been close behind.
This little scope has shown me the true potential of the 617. I think I’ll leave it on.
