FANTASTIC − literally − is probably more like it.

At least for most of us.

Thanks, nice doesn't begin to describe it. (reply)

Best looking one I own, by far.

Let me check my notes... (reply)

How does 'Offhand, off sandbags' sound?

I understand (reply)

off hand or from a rest?

That's a nice one.

Indeed, we're on the same page. (reply)

Just different bore size and yardage.

Completely.

IMHO, the aesthetic is somewhat.... unbalanced. (reply)

The wood looks better than rubber, but it doesn't really compensate for that IR illuminator-looking optic. Before I could stop it, my free association ran down a rabbit hole in my mind and came back with "M3 carbine" and "Vampir".

My apologies; some of my best friends are optics.

On a related note... (reply)

Before 'graduating' to the PDP4, I tried a couple of Tasco PDP3s in the Weigand mount for a while (10-min and 3-min dot models). The 617 with those looked more like the 'Cover Gun' with its PDP2.

The PDP2 was supposedly the 'best', most rugged Tasco dot scope, but I never had one. The '3' and '4' worked fine for my application: .22 Revolver.

Moreover, the PDP4 has a 45-mm tube, so even if doesn't quite make HD, it is most definitely WIDESCREEN.

This is the gun & scope mount I was referring to above.

The related article is the first of several posted @ jackweigand.com

As you can see, the 'custom' version of this scope mount was ventilated; the one that
I found on the shelf at the LGS a few years later − and still have on my 617 − is not.

IIRC, the scope mount was made by Weigand and was 'featured' on a revolver
shown in a mid-1990s issue of American Handgunner magazine.
