Red Dot Scope on 20ga?

[Gibson]

My father put a tasco 1x30 Red dot scope on a Savage 24 series P 22Magnum over 20 gauge it's a great sight but it say's right on the gun not to fire shotgun barrel with scope attatched (3/8 dovetail) we wer wondering how come and would shotgun recoil hurt this scope?

I expect the recoil might eventually wrench the mount loose from that tiny dovetail.

Bingo.....
I'ld shoot it anyway. 20 ga doesn't recoil that badly....

I have had one on my 24C for 20 years - no issues.
