In Reply to: Scopes?? posted by SJ on August 06, 2010 at 06:13:56:
Scopes intended for shotguns will typically have parallax adjusted for shorter ranges, be lower power, have smaller objective lens sizes, have longer eye relief (for protection from a shotgun's greater recoil) and be built tougher to stand up to that recoil. Not to say every shotgun scope will have all of those features, but most will have most. Lots of people use a red-dot or other form of zero-magnification device on a shotgun, as the flip side of smaller objective lenses is a smaller field of view, which can make running shots (VERY common in NY's Southern Tier with 20 other hunters kicking the deer around!) more difficult, and in general the less magnification you have the wider the field of view is. Again, this is not an iron-clad rule for every shotgun scope manufactured, it's just a general tendency, and you'll want to do your own research to see how a particular scope fits your needs and shooting style. I just put a Red Dot system on my 20-gauge Mossberg for Southern Tier hunting after many years of using it with open sights, and am anxious to see how it works this year.
