Default RE: Shotgun scopes

Bigcountry is correct that they no longer make the leupold VX-II 2-7x33 in the shotgun model...however it is still produced ina standard model. The only difference being that that the so-called shotgun model featured a heavy duplex reticle while the standard model features a regular duplex reticle. In my opinion the heavy reticle is certainly not necessary for this scope, and I actually found it a bit of distraction when sighting in the gun at 100yds.
Also, my shotgun VXII has paralax set at 75 yards I believe.
Yes this is also correct. I have the shotgun model as well and forgot about that difference. Honestly, I am not sure that it would make any difference in hunting situations under 100yds though.
