I have a Big Horm Armory lever in 500 S&W with a full-length Picatinny rail. I'd like to scope it.

Use is 100 yards paper punching with rare paper punching to 200 yards. Hunting use is most often 50-70 yards with an occasional longer shot across a farmers field. What scope do you recommend?

Also, big one! Whar height rings? I'm thinking low is the way to go here.

Thanks for the thoughts and replies.

1.5 to 6 leupold.

Looking for a scope, not a dot.

How about a Leupold 2.5 compact scope? It fits most lever actions quite well without being too big and destroying its handling qualities.

I've found the 1.5x6 but I haven't seen the 2x. A 2x with quality glass could be ideal for this rifle.

Leupold compact fixed power 2.5x20 scope.

Thank you.

You may want to look into a Prism Scope.

Some have a long eye relief and come in different powers.

Look at a scope with an illuminated reticle, that faint little red glow really helps at low light.
