I have a Mossberg 500 with a simmons mounted on it. It helped mecenteron my pattern better than open sights. Cheap setup, but it gets the job done. I like the scope because I am able to see the bird better thru heavy foilage. I shot one a couple years back that I could barely make out in the scope due to leaves, if I had open sights, I would have never seen him. Only drawback is a quick follow up shot. personally I think it' personal preferance, and it doesn't matter what one prefers, just call them in close, and then there is no need for a quick follow up shot. Try one, if you don't like it, take it off and sell it. I'm sure someone on here would end up buying it from you. Good luck.
