RE: Less expensive shotgun scope
 

Check out the Nikon Buckmaster. Fixed 4 power with a 40mm objective. I've seen them for as low as $151.00 at different websites.

Good Hunting,

RE: Less expensive shotgun scope
 

i have a tasco-bantam scope on my 870. cost about 70 bucks when i bought it 8 years ago. it was just a quick fix untill i could afford something better, but to this day its has never let me down or needed to be resighted. imy 870 is a cantaliever 23-inch rifled barrel. its kicks like a mule. i guess ive just been lucky. the scope has at least 100 shots on it between deer and trget.

I wouldn't skimp on the optics. Raise you min. price if you can.... fog proof, rain proof.

RE: Less expensive shotgun scope
 

I can't say that I have had any problems with 2x being the lowest settingin relation to field of view.With that said, I am using my 2x7 Nikon a Savage ML, so looking for longer and more deliberate shots and not quick ones. You could also consider a scope with a 1.5x4.5 or similar range if you are concerned about FOV, or get a scopelarger objective than 32, such as a 40.
