thanks guys, im pretty pumped. i had problems with this gun, i just got it last week for this season. i planned on shooting open sights with it, but saturday morning i found 1 buck and 4 does in a field 3/4 of a mile away, i made my way in there direction, when i was around 900 yards they started noticing me. i army crawled threw a tilled cornfield to 78 yards, they started to notice me moving. i got to 60 yards and knew this was my chance. ive never shot a slug gun prone, and with open sights and no rest it was impossible. so i got outta there grabbed a scope and sighted it in, then in the field last night the magnification wouldnt work. so i hit this buck today on 8x mag, definitely tricky. this scope is going right back to the store this week. i told the kid this cheapo wouldnt handle this gun! i wanted the nikon slughunter but they were out so its on order and i bought a cheap 100 dollar bushnell just for the weekend. it worked good enough!
