[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 1215124, member: 1409"] That scope should be able to handle the recoil just fine. IMO, the main concern when using a scope on a shotgun should be eye relief. I don't want anything less than 3 1/2 inches of eye relief. I'm very happy with the Nikon 1.75 - 4.5x (with a 20mm objective lens) I have on my turkey gun. One other thing, for turkey hunting, a small objective may be advantageous over a larger objective, i.e. you certainly don't need a 50mm objective lense for it's low-light gathering ability. For deer hunting, light gathering ability is more an issue. [/QUOTE]
