Thread: Optic for Ruger 77/44 pig gun

What do I need fellas?

Rifle has had a cheap Bushnell red dot that wouldn’t switch off, and then got smacked. New optic needs to be mega tough because it’s gonna get a very hard time. Anything that will get caught up in scrub and native will be a problem.

Rifle is used for short range 2-10m bailed pigs, killing stock, horses etc. Shoots my hand loaded 280gr subsonics.

Budget up to about $1000 for a straight red dot. The idea of a laser is appealing, to shoot pigs under logs or in big holes in real tight crap, which happens quite often, but haven’t found anything non-cheapshit Chinese that is red dot and has a laser. Rifle is bog standard 77 plastic stock. Not easy to see where I’d mount another rail.

It’s got to be near unbreakable.
