I've had a 5X Burris on my 375JDJ for over 16 years. I opted for the 6-hole weaver base and Burris Zee rings. I put 3 rings on the base and have never had a problem with the rings or base coming loose.

And it's less than half of what the TSOB rig costs.

Well after getting all the info from the previous post I gave SSK Industries a call. I decided that next week Im going to ship my factory thompson center barrel to them to have the TSOB 3 ring mount put on. But heres my next question, should I still order the 4X burris or should I get something else. Do the leupolds stand up to this abuse since they dont have the possitive click adjustment. Is 4X a good power for hunting or should I go with 2X or a variable. This is the first handgun hunting pistol Im setting up so I dont know much. Im looking for a little experience to guide me so I dont buy something and hate it a week later. Thanks.

Personally I would put a 2x7 Burris on the gun or if you prefer a Leupold 2.5x8. If you want to put a larger scope on the gun like the Burris make sure the TSOB base is the standard length not a full rib or 3/4 rib because the base will interfere with the objective bell. Maybe you can see what I mean from this pic.

That is a 3x9 with posi-lock Burris on my 375 but they don't make that one anymore. It was replaced with the 3x12.

alaska,

i've had really good luck with my T/C2.5 to 7x 32 with illuminated reticle. I shoot mine regularly and have had no scope problems.

Alaska, I've had a 4x Leupold on mine since I got mine from SSK many years ago. In fact, I bought it from SSK at the same time as the barrel. With 3 rings, it has not moved. I feel that 4x is fine for me on this barrel as I would not take shots over 150 yds. anyhow, even though it will do the job further. Where I hunt in s.e. PA, shots any longer are very rare indeed. In fact, I think the longest shot I ever took was 2yrs. ago with my 209x50 and it was close to 110 yds. All good feedback has been given, just a personal choice for you to make. Enjoy your new "toy"

I personally am a diehard Burris fan. Since I bought my first 2x for my 44mag about 8 years ago, I dont even look at other brands. The 4x is a dandy, great all around hunting scope. But if it were me, i'd probably go with the 2x7 if for no other reason the added ease of sighting in. Also, look into a posi-lock. If your not familiar, it had a threaded "plug" on the lower side of the scope that can be tightened down to lock all internal components down tight to assure that nothing can be moved if the gun is dropped or hit against something accidentally. All together I own 6 Burris handgun scopes on some pretty rank calibered guns and I havent had a single problem with any of them. If you couple one with a T'SOB, that is a combination that you shouldnt have any problems with even on a hoss like the 375 JDJ.

the 2x7 burris is a super hunting scope. i have it on my 14" 30-30AI. it has the widest field of view out there. 21' at 100 yards, when on 2x. makes it much easier to pick up on game, or moving game in close quarters, but you still have up to 7x for target work, or longer shots.
i just got a 2.5x x8 leupold. very nice scope, but not nearly the field of view at 13'@100 on 2.5x.

the burris scopes do reduce in eye relief a little as you turn up power, and are shorter in eye relief than some models out there. i find this to be no hinderance to me personally.
i put a 2x6x32 simmons pro hunter on my 14" 44mag. doin fine so far for $119. it has long, constant eye relief, and i'm well pleased with it, but it's no burris.
as a compromise scope, a 4x would fit many situations, but would limit field of view a little at close range.
