Info.on scope before sale ends please

Hi,I saw some nice scops at DICK's today on sale,they were rifle scopes. DOES IF MATER IT I MOUNT IT ON MY SHOTGUN?
the shotgun scopes are not on sale. So $25 is very tempting compare to $70 buks.
Thanks

I have a $20 Tasco Proghorn on my 12 gauge. It has held up fine, and holds its zero ok.

Guns cause crime, like flies cause garbage.

RE: Info.on scope before sale ends please

For a shotgun scope, there are two important factors. One is eye relief, so you can get your eye far enough AWAY from the ocular lens to not get hit when it recoils!! The other is its ability to withstand recoil effects!! Slug guns have a heavy recoil, compared to most rifles!! A scope which can last indefinitely on a .30/06 might not endure one season on a slug shotgun!!

Keep yore powder dry!!
