Advice: Red Dot scope for S&W 617, 4in, 22LR

[bill warren]

Hi,
I have a new S&W Model 617 Revolver and find it difficult to see target at 50ft at indoor range. A friend let me try his 22LR semi with Red Dot Scope. What a difference! My 617 has two bored holes so I think I can buy a scope mounting plate along with a Red Dot. Any suggestions what to buy since I don't want something that is real large. Also uncertain on what specs mean and what I need. Thanks for help!

Weigand makes a nice weaver type (no drill) mount for the S&W revolvers. With this set up you could use just abount any type of red dot. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=16114&title=HANDGUN SCOPEMOUNTS~

or if you'd prefer a JP or Optima red dot - JP Enterprises makes a mount http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/st...=7581&title=J-POINT & OPTIMA MOUNTING ADAPTER

Hope this helps..
