scopes
« on: February 07, 2008, 11:38:21 AM »
What scope are you guys using on your slug guns? Anyone use the Nikon slughunter? does it work as advertised?  I'm lookin to be able to shoot 150 yards, didn't know if I could just use a regular scope and sight dead on at 100 yards and be okay at 150 or not.

        Well today I used a Burris handgun scope with ballistic plex--BDC on a Hastings barrel. I found a great range at Casa Grande AZ-- I'm from Ohio on vacation. My spotter took a 100yd target out to 200yd. first round I put it on the bottom BDC mark, wasn't sure where to start. Fired spotter said high above target. I then used second mark next two rounds, 7" left of bull both holes touching. Next group 2 1/2" two holes touching 3" left of bull! I was using WSF, multi hulls, and Lightfields Commanders IDS with 8 starr fold crimp at 1600fps. So does a BDC scope work  with a slug gun you bet!

You should look at the Mueller.  Here is a link to the review I recently wrote up http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,124128.0.html

Have a Leupold VariX3 in 1.5-5x20mm. Bought this used dirt cheap. Another is the Weaver V3 1-3x20mm. Both have about 4 inches of eye relief. The newer Weavers are listed as having less eye relief.

Another one I'm looking into is the Bushnell Banner in 1.5-4.5x32mm. Listed as having 4 inches of eye relief
