ranchand99 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Now that I've decided to go with a scope,instead of open sights.I was just curious what you guys shoot on your slug guns.I was thinking about a simmons 3-9x40.I have had good luck with simmons before.Thanks in advance!

lil hunter Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Re: What scope do you use on your slug gun? My dad has a simmons pro diamond 4x32 on his 11-87 slug gun. I think it's awesome. I would reccomend it to anyone. Plenty of eye relief, and thats what I need.lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Re: What scope do you use on your slug gun? As long as you go with an upper end Simmons, you will be ok. I wold not go below the 44 Mag series. My other choice is the Aetec. The slug guns have some stout recoil and can eat a scope in no time, so get a decent one.

WNY_Whitetailer Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Re: What scope do you use on your slug gun? Bushnell Trophy 1.75-4x32 Scope mounted on my H&R Ultra Slugger...The scope rarely leaves the 1.75 setting. I liked this scope so much that I added a second one to my Rem 870.

Guest deldeer Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: What scope do you use on your slug gun? i've had a simmons 4x32 deerfield on my 870 for a few years, then put the same scope on my h&r. never ever had a problem with that scope. i now have a leopould on the h&r. the biggest factor i would look for on a sluggun is the eye relief..(at least 3inches). personaly i like a fixed power scope on all my slugguns. & remember the bigger the objective the more light gathering ability the scope will have..

tedicast Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: What scope do you use on your slug gun? [ QUOTE ] Hello, it's a slug gun. You want a straight 2x or a straight 4x. Why spend $500.00 on a Leopold var-!!! for shooting under 100 yards. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah...it's a slug gun...whats your point? I happen to prefer a little more power than 4x. If I want to spend the money on Leupold , why shouldn't I? [ QUOTE ] I have shot deer at 350 yards with my 30-06 with a weaver 4x [/ QUOTE ] It doesn't bother me in the least that you shoot a straight 4X, why should it bother you that I shoot a higher power variable?????
