Thanks for sharing that. My 870 shooting 3" shells kicks harder than my Mossberg shooting 3.5"s, so your experience is good to know. As I indicated above I fully expected to replace this scope with a Leupold or Nikon Monarch but now I might just keep it on there.
One thing I wish it had are Bushnell's Rainguard coatings. I have a Bushnelle Elite 3200 4x12 on a .243 and the rainguard thing really works. You can fog it with your breath or have raindrops all over the ocular lens and still see well enough for a shot. Amazing.
