well, i have had the pro diamond from simmons; there great and reasonably priced. the trophy scopes from buschnell are good also. whatever one you end up getting, make sure there is a decent guarentee. shotgun recoil is brutal on a scope, and sometimes the best scopes wont hold up to 3 and 3.5 inch 12 ga. recoil. also look into getting see through mounts on your gun; so you can use either iorn sightd ,or your scope in case something happens to your scope, you can still get your shot off .( wont tell how i learned this one, take my word for it; that i dont have a scope without see through mounts ) I have fiber optic sights on under the scope . sight and pattern with both systems, good luck
