I just put a Bushnell cantilever slug scope on my BPS.
I like the 6 inch eye relief.

I would try looking in to a Red-Dot like a Leopuld,Aim-point or Bushnell some thing with a 3-4 MOA. I have one on a 44 mag Super Black Hawk I can hit deer @ around 100 yds.

Leupold VX-1 shotgun scope, 1-4X heavy duplex reticle. works awesome on deer.


jack, a 44 mag at 100 yards?!?!?!? not enough energy to drop a deer at that range with that round.

They say different construction to accomodate the hard recoil, but I don' t believe that. Main difference is the paralax set to 75 yards I believe instead of 150yards.

Remington 870 SPS Super Slug Deer Gun, Leupold VX II 2-7X33 Shotgun Scope and Leupold PRW Rings.



I have taken three deer with this setup, the longest being 186 yds. This is the best shooting shotgun that I have ever had the pleasure to shoot.
