I have a cheap bushnell 3-9x scope on my 20 gauge slug gun. It has the DOA 200 reticle on it which is fairly accurate. It keeps drifting to the right so I suspect that the internals are done. I've already been through the warranty process with it so I'm not really interested in going down that road. I used to have a leupold ultimate slam and liked that scope as well. It seems that there are not really any options for shotgun specific scopes any more. Any recommendations? Budget $500 or less.

Yeah I don't really want a red dot. Some of my shots are 150+ yards. Most are 50 and in but sometimes I've got to stretch it out a bit. I had a 2-7 before and now it's 3-9x. Problem is to use the DOA reticle it has to be at full magnification.

The nikon slug gun scopes were great. I think crimson trace are extremely similar to the old nikon lines
it's just outside of your budget at 520.00 +/-10.00 but the leupold vx freedom 1.5-4x20 might serve you well if you aren't looking for a higher magnification scope. I have a couple of the older gen 1-4x20 and the scopes are quite light and seem to be reliable enough.

They used to make a shotgun model 1-4, I think they were VX1 or 2's with slightly thicker reticle. I had one on my 20ga slug gun for a few years and shot half a dozen deer with it.
Why not a a leupold ultimate slam ??
I didn't think they still made them .
There is this great sub forum called the EE.
I knew a guy who used VX I's on his trap guns.
Guys at the local club on Sidaway Rd laughed at him, but eventually some saw his technique prove them wrong.
