Hey all, I bought a slug barrel for my 20 gauge 870 on here last year and yet to scope it. Any suggestions for a good scope that won't break the bank?

Bushnell banner 3x9 I put on my hr 500 sw mag stood up to that recoil mule paid $89 back then for it. It sits on my muzzleloader now and has always kept zero
Huntin is not a matter of life and death, its more important than that

A scope that doesn't get much credit but has always worked really well is the Simmons Pro Diamond Shotgun Scope. I've used it in the past and still have one on one of my 1100's. For me, it has always worked well and doesn't break the bank.

+1 I have a pro diamond scope. Its about a decade old and has been on 2 slug guns and one turkey shotgun. It now is on a .22 coon rifle. Good scope that's been through heck and just won't die.

THanks Here is some friendly advise, spend as much money on a scope as you would the gun. Its better to have a $100.00 gun with a $500.00 scope than a $500.00 gun with a $100.00 scope. Premium scopes very seldom fail and you dont have to re-zero them every year. Look on the net and you be surprised at what a good used quality scope will sell for. Good luck, h.h.

HH speaks the truth. You owe it to the animals you wish to harvest.

[/b]I agree with HH but will add one last bit of advice when it comes to scopes. BUY GOOD RINGS TOO! Cheap rings are cheap for a reason.....
