Selecting A Scope For Your Shotgun Set Up For Deer hunting

Whether you hunt with a 12 gauge, 16 gauge or a 20 gauge, you should strongly consider having a low power variable scope with adequate eye relief on top of your shotgun set up for whitetails. I have been asked to recommend some AFFORDABLE RUGGED scope for use on shotguns set up for whitetails.

Following are some suggestions that won't break the bank and will work well on your shotgun:

• Nikon Prostaff 2X7X32 with BDC (bullet drop compensator) reticle, fully multi-coated lenses, and 3.8" of eye relief listed at $149.95
• Leupold 1X4X20mm with fully multi-coated optics, 3.8" to 4.3" eye relief listed at $179.
• Mueller Multi Shot 2X7X32 illuminated red dot scope with fully multi-coated lenses at $149.95. I have this scope on my TC 209/50 Muzzle loader and LOVE it. 
• Bushnell Trophy XLT1.75X4X32 Circle X reticle with fully multi-coated lenses and 4.1" eye relief $129.99
• Bushnell Banner 1.5X4X32 scope with 4.0" eye relief for $69.99
• Simmons Master series fixed power 4X32mm scope for $59.99 with 4" eye relief

 There are dozens more out there, however I can easily recommend these six scopes and all are available from Midway USA at the prices quoted at the time of this post. They are reasonably priced and hold up well to shotgun recoil.

II Corinthians 4:1-5 KJV


1Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
