I don't own one of those per say, but have heard good things about them. If the price was right, I would give it a try.

I am using it on 300 win mag for years with great result
Interesting, I'm looking at the 1.5-4x
Its a really great price, I'm just wondering if it will hold a 0 on a shotgun.

Try this website.If for not pruchasing-at least for info about the scope ,which is designed for shotgun.
ps-i had once a lowly Bushnell scope for my shotgun(20 G though)which was excellent scope for less then 100$.
The field of view was bar to none,and the optics was good for 100 y .
I still regret selling it with the gun.
Let us know.Good luck.

I have one on my turkey gun. It has held up to recoil from 3.5 inch turkey loads for several years with no problem.....it’s mounted on a saddle mount on my 870.....

Thank you rick! this gives me much more piece of mind haha
ill be hunting the bush mostly, and if i do hunt the field edges 100 yards will be my max shot if anything with that scope for deer. although my deer spot is in the bush so i think the lower powered scope is a better choice for me. trying to get some pictures on here but my laptop is being weird with onedrive like usual.
thnak you guys for the input has helped alot.

(I was completive shooter in my youth )
I am not saying that the more expensive scope is not better , just that not worth the money to spend
if the hunter is not driven by peer pressure ...
haha i totally agree. i dont see the point of buying a scope that matches your gun price let alone exceeds it ! LOL

I’ve only heard of one Banner that went bad. My son had his in his .270, crosshairs went wonky. He sent it back to Bushnell, they replaced it, no charges....

I had one on my ML. It worked worked well for a couple of years. It started get fogging in cold temps, then it would not hold zero anymore. Bushnell replaced it for free, but still sits new in its box. I installed a Nikon, big difference.

I've owned one and it worked fine providing but I did not expect too much from it. With optics you tend to get what you pay for. The challenge is not paying for what you don't need.
