In your own opinion what is the best slug gun scope for hunting from the brush out to about 100 yds? My price limit is less than 200 on a new scope. I had the Leupold 2-7x33 in mind. Any suggestions on others?

Your choice is fine but 7X at the top is probably not required for only 100 yards. I'd put a fixed power scope on it with nothing higher than a 4 X. These are generally brighter, have ample Eye Relief and less "internals" (more durable). A Weaver 4x38 Classic K would be nice, and goes for around $135.00 @ S.W.F.A. You may also find a used Leupy or a Sightron SII 4X. Also, check the Samplelist @ S.W.F.A. for used and demo scopes. Good luck.

try looking at natchez shooting supply they have new leupolds 1x 4x20
for $199.99 & shipping they are close outs & i bought one & tried it on my slug gun & i love it. lifetime warranty& good clarity, i tried a nikon slug hunter & i swear you can't see clearly until full daylite is available
sent it back & got another one thinking it was a defective scope ;same thing sent it back also & purchased a leupold vx1 1x4x20. should of done it right the first time

A 2x7 will work fine. May not need the 7X, but certainly will not be a draw back. I have a 8 year old compact Leupold Vari-X III 1.75-6x32 that I love. It is on my 444 Marlin. Excellent "wods" set-up for me. I have had zero problems with it.

Lots of good props going out to Vortex, but I know nothing of them firsthand.

I always like the 3-9x40, better to have it so in the future if you need added power you have it. In your price range look at the Bushnell Trophy XLT

I think Bowhuntercop has good advice and my recommendation on the scope would be redfield revolution 3-9x40 plex. Excellent eye relief 4+" and very clear,not too mention Leupolds warranty.

X2. I have the same scope mounted on my Triumph .50 black powder gun and it's awesome. It's very bright and clear.
