My dad would say - How Dumb are You?

You cannot use a rifle scope on either a Muzzleloader or a Shotgun.

A rifle scope is designed for a Rifle ONLY!

There is different harmonic's between a rifle and a shotgun and that is what broke your scope. The different type of recoil between the two will break almost any type of rifle scope - even a Leupold.

Besides that - you do not need a Bushnell Elite 3200 on a Shotgun!

Even with a rifled slug, your effective range is still less than 200 yards.

If you would have PAID someone to mount your scope for you - that knew something about guns and scopes, they would have advised you not to do it and would also had advised you to buy a shotgun scope for your muzzleloader or shotgun and not a rifle scope.

Play dumb, send it back. Bushnell will replace it.

Go out and BUY a shotgun scope and put the rifle scope on a rifle and you will not have anymore problems.
