I'm finishing up my 450 build and have been on the fence about the optic. It will be a woods gun with maybe a reach out into the field for

I have a simple leupold compact 3-9 on mine.

I put a Nikon Slughunter on mine. Works great.

Redfield Revolution 2x7.

7 power can get you sub moa at the bench for sight in.

2 power works excellent for the woods and close shots.

Buy it at Brownells and get the life time warranty from Redield and Brownells.

There are better scopes. But likely not for the money, and not made in the USA.

I freaking love mine. Its really light too.

These sell light hot cakes! I back ordered mine and had to wait a couple weeks. Brownells will have 10% and free shipping sale soon.

I went with a leupold ultimate slam on my 450. The reticle matches up great with the 450s ballistics.

So, stopped at the store and looked at some red dots for fun. My eyes do NOT like them. I don't know if it's the laser surgery or what, but doesn't matter, the red dot is out.

I'm leaning to a low multi powered scope. I'll check out the Leupold and Redfield mentioned. Thanks all.

Burris Mtac or RT-6.

Take a look at the new Leupold Freedom 1-4x20 nice scope I know that someone here on PM had problems with one but I think that was a anomaly.

Nikon has a very nice Monarch in 1-4x20, I think it is called a Dangerous Game Scope/DGR, I've been running one for a number of years on heavy kickers with great results, but the again all my VX- 1/2/II have worked well on 12ga combo guns the only Leupold that I had problems with was an old Varix-II 1-4x20 but I keep it on some light weight predator guns now and have had no problems with it.

Maybe a Leupold 2-7x33 with firedot? Nice fast scope if you jump something at short range...?

I have a Burris MTAC 1-4 with the AR ballistic reticle on mine. LOVE it. Small reticle to make precise shots when needed but also goes down to a 1 power for close up work. I think you cant go wrong in the 1-4/6 or 2-7 range.
