I have had trouble finding a camo scope in a 3-9x40.
My budget is about $200 give or take a bit for the right one! Bought a camo slug/rifled shotgun and even though it does not matter, would like to keep the full camo look, but having troubles. I can find 1.5-4s more so than the higher powered 3-9s. I shot with a similar gun last year and killed a buck 130yards out so I would like to keep the higher power. Open to suggestions!

In the long run, since ranges are 200 Yd or less for shots normally with a shotgun, you may well find that you are better served with the 1.5-4. A 1-4 will give more field of view for the closer shots. Shots that will be ruined if the scope is set to high of a magnification. I can never say I got a deer because of higher magnification. I have positively missed shots because the scope was set at to high a magnification.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I sat with mine at 9x last year for the most part. I hunt an old corn feild on the edges. Otherwise in thicker brush I will turn it down.
Just having a hard time coming across a good camo scope... BUT i did just find Bushnell Trophy 250 DOA, that says to be shockproof.

Nikon and Bushnell both carry camo scopes.
