Shotgun scope? suggestions?
 
wondering what you use for your shotgun scope? looking for something affordable (as in pretty cheap the wife' s gettin on me about my hunting expenses :)
am using a Mossberg 9200 12 ga. with rifled slugs.

I' m using a Pro Point red dot with no magnification.
My setup doesn' t keep good groups out past 75 yards, so it works just fine, and it' s got FAST target acquisition with both eyes open.

I have a 2 power Simmons on my shotgun.Went for the lower power as the field of view is larger.And 50 yd. shots are about what I get.

If you' re hunting thick stuff a scope is useless. Red dots have no magnification but are awesome slug gun sights. You shoot them with both eyes open and for easy shooting on drives and moving deer in the brush. Just make sure you get one with a small dot. 5 MOA( will cover 5" at 100 yards) is the biggest you should consider. Mine is a 3 MOA.

Good Luck!

I had put on a Bushnell scope 3x9x40 on my Mossberg 500 and could not get good grouping at 100 yards so I went back to the open sights. I was hitting the target at 100 yards with open sights so I' m back to them.

I' ve got Bushnell on both my shotgun and my muzzle loader. They are very clear and until today I had no complaints[:' (] Wanted to check the zero on my shotgun so after one shot you could no longer see through the scope[:@] Guess it had too many slugs shot through it and it just decided to blow up. They are reasonable enough I can' t complain though. Going out to get another one to replace the one I took off of my ML to put on the 12 GA.

I' ve got a bushnell 1.5-4x variable and a simmons pro diamond The bushnell I use with my fully rifled barrel for winter Jan.&Feb. season, and the pro diamond on my gun with a rifled choke tube for hunting thick stuff or in the fall. I believe both are around 100$ or less. Never had any trouble. And I' m out there most of the winter.

I have a Cabela' s Pine Ridge shotgun scope on my 870 and I' m very happy with it.
It is 2.5-7x32, very clear, and reasonably priced. They also have the same scope that' s fixed at 2.5
