I am looking for a scope for a dedicated slug-gun. The gun is a Browning A-Bolt in 12Ga (a shotgun that thinks its a rifle ). Not very heavy and has a bit of a kick to it, particularly with 3in slug shells.
This is what I am looking for:
- durable enough to survive the recoil
- plenty of eye relief
- a BDC reticle that is set for slugs
- good low-light performance
I am not set yet on what magnification. I have a 1-5x on my AR and would like to have a bit more on the slug gun. Leupold and Weaver have 2-7x shotgun scopes, the Nikon slug-hunter is 3-9x. I dont really anticipate any shots much beyond 100yards, the 3-9 may be a bit 'over-scoped'. Good eye-relief and good low-light performance are probably the most important features.
Any favorites for a slug-gun scope ?
