Rifle Scopes Optics for a Desert Eagle

[johnl]

Hi Guys

I want a red dot for my DE. Its going on a .440 corbon 10" barrel. Aimpoint or Eotech? It will be my 200yrd gong gun. I wish we could hunt with sidearms in Canada, man that would be sweet, but no dice. Anyways, suggestions? Thanks

Please be advised that since the DE puts a gun under extreme abuse....most optics will fail miserably. Only one that ever survived my 44Mag was a fixed 4X Leupold handgun scope. With reddots and the electronics I would ensure they will warrant it in case the recoil destroys the circuitry.

Aimpoint

Call and check, but I would bet that if your Deagle destroys it, they will fix it.

I had a old Swedish red dot on my 44 mag Desert Eagle for years with no problems. Later I switched to a Burris 2-7 power and it worked fine for years as well. The only problem I could see happening is the red dot may be to big and cover your target at 200 yards, so make sure you know what size of dot you’re getting before the purchase.

This is an older Tasco optima 2000 with a custom base I have had on my 44mag DE for about 10 years and works great and is very recoil tolerant. It is similar to the Dr.Optics and Burris ones.
