I would appreciate any help from the vast knowledge in this forum. I recently inherited a NEF shotgun from my uncle. It is the single shot, 12 gauge, 3 1/2" chamber, 28" barrel with external screw in extra-full choke. I had a buddy of mine pattern it with Winchester 3 1/2" #6 turkey loads and it is absolutely devastating out to 45 yards.
My problem is my aging eyes. I simply cannot see the small bead and the target together clearly enough to feel comfortable hunting. I want to mount a red dot scope but there are no provisions on the barrel for a scope mount. I have read in some other forums about people using JB Weld or epoxy to mount scopes but I have a concern with it being strong enough for the recoil of this turkey cannon.
Any experience or advice would be appreciated.
