Default RE: Scope for Shotgun

I'm with most everyone else. I shoot an 835 and have a weaver rail on top where Mossberg factory drilled and tapped it. I then used solid steel Thompson Center Rings and a Nikon ProStaff 2-7x32, which I leave on 2x. The reticle is a Heavy Duplex, which is ok, but I would have prefered a diamond plex. So it goes... I had to Lock-Tite the rings, since that baby has a bit of extra bump and I was having trouble with the scope sliding back in the rings and working itself loose. Shoots terrific.

I once had a red-dot on my turkey gun, and after accidentally bumping it into the on position and leaving it on for 36 hours, I had nothing but a hollow tube. Thank god I left my Fiber optic sights on the gun. That and a Leatherman tool to remove the dead scope saved the morning, until I missed a bird at 15 steps by shooting neatly into a pine tree...[:@]
