Shotgun Scopes.
 

What brand do you perfer on shot guns. Thinking about getting a Benelli SuperNova Slug Gun!


Thanks for the incoming advice.

Nikons BDC muzzle loader scope works great on my T/C so I cant imagine their slug gun model being bad.

You will be spending more on those shotgun/muzzleloader scopes. Get yourself a quality Leupold VX-II, for me I like the 3-9x40.

It IS a scam...the only realistic difference other than secondary features is marketing. While some features may be different for each model, there is no inherent difference that makes any scope a MZ, Rifle of shotgun scope.

For examlpe...parallax can easily be changed by the factory in any scope..that does not make one a rifle scope and the other a shotgun or MZ scope...also eye relief can easily be altered, (increased/decreased), in the design process of any scope, at the cost of a smaller field of view, (when relief is increased), this does not make one scope a slug scope or MZ scope instead of a rifle scope...also any reticle can be put in any scope, whether the reticle matches the trajectory of a specific projectile doesn't mean the design of the scope is any different whether it be a slug, mz or rifle scope.

Moral of the story..in the majority of the cases...most of your money is being wasted when you pay more for a "MZ scope" or a "slug scope".

Instead of buying a lower quality over hyped dedicated slug or MZ scope...put your money into a similarly priced standard rifle scope and you will have a higher qulity scope that will rewarded you more in the long run.

I like Nikon too! For the price, you can't beat the quality.

Yeah a scope that doesnt have ballistic stadia that match your trajectory, necessary eye relief for the extra recoil and parallax set to the range youll be shooting. Of course you could save money on a ford pinto to take to the drag strip also? How about driving screws with a hammer? For close to the same money you can have optics built for your shooting system and trust me its worth it. BTW most shotgun and muzzle loader scopes are cheaper, certainly more so than a " Leupold".

I'd prefer a fixed 4X with sufficient ER. Best glass = S&B or IOR Valdata. Completely sufficient = Leupy, Sightron SII, Weaver K or (if you can locate one) the now discontinued Zeiss Conquest 4X.

you may want to look at a nikon prostaff.ive got a 3x9 on a single shot 45/70.its held up to the recoil year after year.its plenty bright for legal shooting hours and not too expensive.watch out for some of the long eye relief scopes.you lose a lot of field of veiw.make sure you compare that before you buy.
