Posting in this subsection because a rifled shotgun is more rifle than shotgun and also it is more active ;)
http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-diamondback-1-75-5x32-riflescope-dead-hold-bdc-reticle I am thinking of installing the above linked scope on my cantilever barrel 20 gauge rifled barrel for the northeast whitetail woods where shots are usually fairly close. It is a 1.75 to 5 x 32 mm objective with eye relief of 3.5-3.7". Is this a good scope for that purpose? There are many in the ~200-230 price range from competitors as well. Is this enough eye relief for a 20 gauge that has a LimbSaver pad on the stock? Don't want to tattoo my face...Alternatively I have heard that the long 5" eye relief models (like the leupold vx-1 and Nikon slug scopes) may not even be able to be properly installed on a cantilever barrel. I have no idea if this is true as I've never scoped a cantilevered barrel. Thanks for any input! |

The second scope you list does drop the eye relief from a min of 3.5" to 3.1" but i will definitely look into it. It's tough to say what I need or what is too much worrying.

My slug gun wears a Sightron S2 in a straight 4X. As far as I'm concerned it's perfect... ample ER, decent glass, lightweight and 4X is plenty for my typical ranges. Food for thought.
