Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Good slug gun scope? Suggestions?

I had a red dot for many years (10?) on my 12ga. All of my slug season deer have all been within 80 yards; no need for magnification. It was lightning fast on target. Nothing better for jumping deer.

Last year I had problems with it holding zero, and replaced it with a 4x Leupold traditional scope. No need for big magnification or the complexity/cost of a variable, and the simple scope should hold up to the recoil.

I kinda miss that red-dot tho.

Although the 20ga does not have a much recoil as a 12ga, my advice would be to get a scope with a ton of eye relief. It's easier on your eye-brow.
