Would it make that much of a difference for a riffled 20 gauge shotgun? My wife's H@R needs a new scope. It still has 5 inches of eye relief.

Pretty much all of my shots are less than 100 yards and I have 3-9x40s on all my inlines. I keep it on 4 unless I choose to turn it up. Unless I have to make a snap shot, I always turn it up. Better view = better shot in my opinion.
