Default RE: Shotgun scope

Stretchhunts,

I agree with demoIL on this one. I have a bushnell banner with circle-X 1-4 on my smoothbore, and the Leupold 2-7 shotgun scope with heavy reticle on my rifled slug gun. The bushnell is under $100 and the Leupold is under $2oo. I love them both and have had no problem with either. The heavy reticle is GREAT!! The only issue is that at 1X on the bushnell, I see the front of my barrel, so it is really a 2-4X scope. My accuracy and kill rate has improved significantly since I started using scopes on my shotguns. For years I was passing up longer range shots (80-100 yds)with my iron sights cause I wasn't confident in a solid hit, but now with practice and a steady rest (plus an accurate gun), I am plenty capable of a 100 yd neck shot. Just get a solid mount for it, and lock in those screws. Best of luck.
