I am buying a new scope for my Omega. I like Leupold and was going to put there VXII Shotgun scope in 2-7x33. Should I put a shotgun scope on it or a rifle scope?
Put on it whatever 'floats your boat"!! Either will work. I like a long eye relief, so might favor the shotgun scope.
(In Alaska, we used to have a saying:
YOU CAN TELL A CHEECHAKO BY THE SIZE OF HIS KNIFE!! Now we say,
you can tell a greenhorn by the size of his scope! You'd have to be loco to think you'd need any magnification of over 2.5X on a muzzleloading
HUNTING rifle!!
