i had one. I beleive it was a 6.5x18 or some such thing. It was a cheap pos. the ajustment turnents had all kinds of play in them and it didnt tract worth crap. I got it on sale for like 75 bucks and got just what i paid for. I stuck it on a rifle that was getting sold just to get it out of here.

I'm rather curious about the low powered shotgun/muzzleloader Truglo scopes myself. I wouldn't be brave enough to try a high magnification model.

Sorry! With this scope, the old adage: "you get what you pay for" , holds true..
"You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts." - Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan

When you allow a lie to go unchallenged, it becomes the truth.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

I've had 3 of the 2X red dots sold 1 to a buddy of mine and the other 2 are on slug guns no problems with them. I like them.

I also agree that you get what you pay for.  Don't be fooled by advertising, Cheaper Than Dirt, and other mail order offers.
You can look at some good product at the sites of SWAFA and Bear Basin.  Camera Land is a sponsor here.  Not certain who answers their phone and what experience they have in the hunting field.  You can always ask them.
