[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 211413, member: 704"] I have used a 2X6 power scope on my 8 3/8 inch barrel Smith in 44 mag. I have a much harder time with trigger control and have a tendency to jerk the trigger if I don't concentrate. It looks like the pistol is moving around much more than with open sights. I have the same problem with a red dot. I read about Elmer Keith putting gold lines on his front sight for yardage. I should have used white paint first. I took off my front sight and ground two lines across it with a thin Dremel disk. Then I took it to my jeweler who inlayed gold. Should have used paint first. I am sighted in for 50 yards and I thought I could get 100 and 150 yards. I got 250 and 450 yards. Crap. Oh well at least I know can sight half way down to the first gold mark and hit well at 100 yards. I'll run down to my safe and take a picture to post and show you what I am talking about.[ATTACH=CONFIG]22513._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
