Frequently Asked Questions
What types of handguns is this scope compatible with?
The Burris 2x20mm PLX is designed for a wide range of hunting handguns, single-shot pistols, and revolvers equipped with standard scope mounting bases. It is particularly well-suited to platforms like the Thompson/Center Contender, Encore, Magnum Research Desert Eagle, and similar scoped-handgun setups. Always verify that your specific pistol has a compatible mounting rail or base before ordering.
Why choose a fixed 2x over a variable-power handgun scope?
Fixed-power scopes like the 2x20mm PLX offer several advantages for handgun hunters: they are lighter, more compact, mechanically simpler, and typically more affordable than variable-power alternatives. The consistent 2x magnification is versatile enough for typical pistol-hunting distances — generally inside 100 yards — while the simpler design means fewer points of failure in rugged field conditions. If you hunt in varied terrain but within normal handgun range, fixed 2x is a proven, practical choice.
What does the Plex reticle look like and how does it help with aiming?
The Plex reticle features bold, thick outer posts on all four sides that taper down to thin, precise crosshairs at the center. This design naturally draws your eye to the intersection point for fast target acquisition, while the fine center crosshairs allow accurate holdover and precise shot placement. It is one of the most widely trusted reticle styles for hunting applications due to its simplicity and versatility in varying light conditions.
