scope search

[jmarriott]

Any shot or muzzleloader scope will work.

I like 1-4, 1-6 power myself and i like to keep them mounted low, as normal shotgun stocks sight down the barrel beads not much higher and raising the head up to look in the scope is much harder with anything over say 32mm.

you can get stock adjusted or deal with raising your head up a bit if you want more than a 32mm.

i built my 870 with a boyd brothers thumbhole stock and addjusted it a bit with shim's to sight down the scope comfortably.

Some other companies make monte carlo stocks for shotguns to raise the eye to align with the higher mounted rifle type scope.

The raised head seem to make recoil feel a bit more to me and i don't seem to place my head in the same place each time like my rem 700.


I have a redfield 1-4 gold five star scope that i really like, I keep her on about 2.5 most of the time and go to 1 while on deer drives and 4 in a tree stand,
