I have a Mossy 835 with the cantilever rifled slug barrel and i'm using Challenger slugs. Most of my shots will be well within 80 yards (more realistic will be 50). I am just setting it up to sight in this weekend for next weeks controlled hunt. Here are my options

Tasco Red dot 30mm
Tasco Pro point plus
Bushnell holosight
Bushnell 1.75-7x scope

I have all of these sitting here and just can't figure out which to go with. I have a serious flinch with scopes on slug guns after giving myself a shiner on my first attempt years back.

Please let me know what you think I should do (besides buy a new barrel with open sights) thanks.
 
your last choice is similar to mine, except the shotgun is different, I have never had a scope bite,,,,,,,,,yet

If you are going to be shooting 80 yards you should be switching to Sabots in the rifled barrel. The lead will fowl the lands and grooves easily as the outside edges on the foster style slugs are really thin.

I have the same gun and I tried Brenneke K.O's through it and they were utter garbage through the rifled barrel.

I shoot Hornady SST 2 3/4 Sabot slugs in my 835 with good success.

I also have a Bushnell Red Dot on mine.
