When it comes to the 500 there is no good, better or best - there is only works and breaks. Check out the Leupold FX II series.
I opted for an Eotech on my 500. Of course we went right into two weeks of sub-zero and two feet of new snow, but it will get tested here soon.
Good luck!

what ever you do, do not buy a rifle scope and put it on a handgun. They can not take the abuse, you need a hand gun scope

caught this on another forum, .....member called S&W directly regarding his 500, and they gave him a recommendation for a Leupold fixed 2X.
Here's the link FWIW.

Also suggested doubling the rings, and Loc-tite for sure...
Dump trucks coming in season?

I think that is a good choice and doubling the rings is good advice, I would also clean the scope tube with alcohol or acetone, and put a drop or 2 of blue loctite between the scope and the rings. Not just on the retaining screws.

The Leupold FX II in fixed power is what the S&W pro staff is/was using in their promos. If you talk to them they have had (this is almost a year ago) no problems with fixed power. They also recommended the EoTech and AimPoint as reddots.
I seriously looked at the AimPoint with three rings, and then I decided "why mess with rings at all?"

fixed power is stronger then variable power, there is no question about that.
