i am setting up a new savage model 212 bolt action 12ga for white tail hunting in new york state. i have been looking at a leupold ultimate slam, shotgun/ muzzle loader scope, 3-9x40mm. any information on the qualtiy of this scope vs another. i am new to the world of shooting with a scope and dont think the gun will have any range beyond 200 yds. i have found it for sale new for $280?
thanks in advance for any info and help.. ryan.

There is no mechanical difference; the only difference is the parallax setting of 75 yards instead of the 150 yard setting used for rifle scopes. I have seen no practical difference between Leupold's shotgun scopes and their VX-1 counterparts, aside from the parallax, which can be adjusted by the Leupold custom shop.

The only differences are the parallax setting is set for 75 yds. and they have heavy duplex reticles instead of medium duplex reticles. E
