Shotgun scope

[paisa184]

This has been probably been debated before many times , but I'm new around here and want to see what people think of when it comes to scopes for shotguns.


I have a mossberg 500 and it came with a rifled barrel with a scope mount , I have been looking around and have not really found many shotgun specific scope except for a couple but they seem to be on the higher end of the price scale , now I don't mind spending money on quality , but since I'm new to hunting I want to make the best choice that I can.

Any help is welcomed !!

Nikon Slughunter 3-9x40 BDC fits the bill, also has 5 inches of fixed eye relief so you can get away from it.

I agree, the slughunter is the one to get. If your looking for something under $200 the prostaff 2-7 or bushnell xlt 1.75-4 will work fine. I've been using the prostaff for years with no issues, just waiting for a deal on the slughunter I can't pass up.

An alternative that has worked well for a lot of people is the Aimpoint T1 or T2.

Dr Gary Roberts recommends them for certain applications:

They are fairly expensive, but very durable.

3-9x40mm power for a shotgun?
Only the min 6-24x56mm scope will do....

I went a similar route and mounted a Vortex Sparc II. Works great, and quite a bit cheaper than the Aimpoint.

Thanks,

Any decent 1-4 or red dot...an Aimpoint is worth more than your gun lol and while there's nothing wrong with that, there are lots of other choices for considerably less.
