What is the preferred scope for a pump rifle?
Over the many years, I've tried darn near every configuration of Leupold scopes on my 760's/7600's. and have mostly settled on the VX-II or 2, 2-7x, Duplex, for just about all of them. Except the .358Win wears a Vari-X III, 1.75-6x E, which is pretty much the same thing. All in the lowest mounts possible, as Super Cub has already mentioned.
Oh, and some of my "swamp rifles" have Weaver PIVOT mounts/rings. (
Let the flames begin)
AND, BTW, they have never failed me over 40+ years of using them. They come in very handy when you have to look for a bear in a cedar swamp at near dark.
