Shotgun scope options - Bushnell or Leupold?

[Minshall]

Hello there everyone, I just wanted to get an idea of what everyone would recommend in terms or a shotgun scope for my slug gun. Right now it has a 1.75-4 Bushnell trophy. I like the scope but I feel having the higher power of a 2-7 would make shots out to 150 yards a bit easier.

But my choices are:

Bushnell 3200 2-7x32

or

Leupold Vx-1 2-7x32

Any good/bad of either, just looking for future choices for maybe this coming deer hunt.

Thanks a lot

I prefer the Leupold, but it's just my opinion. Both are good scopes, but the Leupy has the best warranty....

Almost all my scopes are low powered variables which include a 2x7, 1.5x6, 1.5x5, 1.5x4.5, 1x4, and 1x3.

The one that I like the best for a slug gun is my Weaver 1x3. Small, light, reliable, with good eye relief makes it perfect for the task.

I had a 3200 in 2x7 one time and didn't like it as it was hard to get the eye placement right for a fast shot.

i would get the leupy due to the added eye releif

Here's another option you might want to consider the Mueller optics 2-7x32mm. I can send you the review that was conducted by Foxer if you'd like.

LMAO! Speaking of which.....whatever happened to the 600 yard shotgun guy in the shotguns forum.......?

lol no no super long ranges here, its just where I hunt, we drive deer so I have the close range running shots and the longer walking/standing shots. I just want to be covered for the longer shots (not too many over 150 yrds, never over 200) Thats where I feel that a larger variable scope would be best, like a 2-7.

Thanks a lot I was leaning towards a Leupold. - Now dont the "shotgun" scopes generally have a wider FOW?
