    optic options for a Ruger Redhawk

    I just pick up a Ruger Redhawk from my sister-n-law. It was her deceased husbands. It has a Bushnell scope on it right now. In order for me to use the scope the gun has to be about a foot from my eyes. Looking for recommendations for a replacement scope, or thoughts and options on a red dot.
    This is the first pistol I've owned with a scope on it.

    Not much help to you but, I’ve a Lepould M2 on a Super Blackhawk that works well for me although it doesn’t allow for full extension of my arms, maybe 15”-18”? I don’t know of any handgun scopes that do, you might look at the Burris line as I’ve heard good things about them. I’m sure there are others that will give more then a foot of eye relief out there
    The dot is probably going to be your best option.

    Have you tried adjusting the ocular lens to your preference?

    Just remember, the farther out you hold it the more movement.

    Hope you have a 2X mounted.

    I have a ruger redhawk with a Ultra Dot Red dot. Excellent combination. explode milk jugs at 50 yards consistently and about half the time at 100 yards.

    Call ultra dot to inquire which model fits your pistol, the ruger's are difficult with their fixed position proprietary rings that do not give any adjustment as to width between rings.
