Frequently Asked Questions
What types of handguns is this scope compatible with?
The Burris 2-7x32mm is designed for use on single-shot pistols, bolt-action handguns, and magnum revolvers — any platform that uses standard 1-inch scope rings. Its extended eye relief (up to 24 inches) makes it safe to use on hard-recoiling handguns where a rifle-length eye relief would be dangerous. It is not intended for semi-automatic pistols or standard-frame handguns without a Picatinny/scope rail.
Can this scope handle the reverse recoil of a magnum handgun?
Yes. Burris builds their handgun scopes to withstand the unique "double recoil" cycle of magnum revolvers and single-shot pistols, which pushes the optic forward on firing and rearward during the follow-through. Internal components are stress-tested to maintain zero under repeated heavy recoil from calibers such as .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, and .357 Magnum.
What magnification setting should I use for hunting vs. target shooting?
For hunting in close to medium cover (25–75 yards), the 2x–4x range offers a wide field of view for fast target acquisition. For open-country shots or metallic silhouette shooting at 100–200 yards, dialing up to 6x–7x gives you the precision needed to make confident, ethical shots. The variable power makes this scope equally at home in the deer woods and on the range.
