Default Call me crazy, but..

Bought a Rossi 12ga break action slug gun. It came with a cheap little Tasco scope that had very little eye relief. First shot it hit me in the face. Glad I had my safety glasses on. So I was looking around the basement for a scope and started thinking about what I needed. Long eye relief, low to medium power and good glass. I pulled the IOR-Valdada 6x42 Tactical off my 25-06. Had to pull the iron sights of the Rossi to get enough room, but it bolted on just fine. With Lightfield slugs I zeroed at 100 (+2" @ 50yds) and it's shooting about 3MOA. My brother says I'm crazy to put a $600 scope on a $150 gun. There's no way I would have bought a scope like that for this gun, but since I already had it and was in a pinch, I've gotta say it works great!. If I can get a slug that will shoot 2MOA, I think it will be great to be able to dial in the tactical solution from 100 to 150 maybe 200 yards.
