Well, I'm getting ready for season later this year and have found an ideal stand location in a nice hardwood creek bottom. It looks like my furthest shot will be ~75 yards at most.
I've taken every deer/hog I've ever shot with either a .270 or 7 mm Mag. With that being said, I see an opportunity to broaden my horizons here. I have an opportunity to pick up a 96/44 that has only been shot three times for a great deal.
I really like the idea of the .44 mag rifle because it would share the same ammo as my .44 SRH. I may even take both guns to the stand with me in case I get the opportunity to take a deer with my handgun.
Anyhow, what do you recommend for optics on a .44 Mag rifle? I have nice red dot scopes and nice fixed power 4x scopes that I feel either would work. The red dot would give me quick target acquisition while the 4x scope would give me a monocular to look at the horns with prior to shooting. I would really appreciate your view on the matter as well.
