6.5X20X50 for a shot gun?..better re-think the power, something like a 4X fixed or maybe 2.5X7 and get a scope made for a shotgun..The El-Cheapo's won't hold up..unless you don't plan on shooting it much..and I'm sure there are some that will swear that the cheap scopes work just fine for them. I think Simmons makes a shot gun scope..if you don't have $$$ for a better one. Good Luck.

+100. 20 X at the top on a shotgun is just not necessary.

Ditto JagMan. Avoid Simmons like the plague. A 6.5-20x50 mm , in a high quality scope would be a good shoice for a long range varmint shooting set up. For a shot gun .... look at something like a Leupold 2-7x33 mm with the Firedot #4 reticule. Should be a darn good choice for shot gun hunting.
