Well, it looks like Iowa is finally going to jump on the bandwagon and allow us to use rifles chambered in straight-walled cartridges of .357" caliber or larger. I've been using an 18" .357 Maximum barrel made by MGM on my TC Encore in pistol configuration for years, topped with a Leupold 2.5-8x32 VX3 Handgun Scope. It's worked well, but not exactly the best off-hand shooting option, but GREAT from a good rest. Now I'll be putting the buttstock on my frame and using this setup as a carbine for a little more versatility in the field. What scope would you recommend? Max range for my shots is 225 yards, most are going to be well under that - 75-150 yards is pretty normal. I don't want something to monstrous, but I also like magnification in the 8x-10x range at the top end. I'm open to suggestions.
