Using a 1x scope on a shotgun-rifle combination
17/06/05 01:56 AM

Took the newTikka double for a walk today, just out to the paddock to try sighting it against my "pet" deer. Points pretty well. At the moment it has a 1-4x Leupold on it. Haven't got ammo for the 9.3 yet so it is all academic so far.

I plan to source a couple sets of barrels for it in 12 g/ .222 or .223 and another with a medium calibre for medium game.

My question is, if one mounts say a 1-4x scope on a combination shotgun / rifle how well can one use the shotgun with a scope? I tried "shooting" pigeons by tracking them in the scope and it seemed to be quite possible. Especially as one can easily keep both eyes open with a 1x scope.

Never thought I would consider a scoped shotgun before but it actually looks feasible. One would be limited to the upper 4x but that would be OK wth a 7mm or a .30, maybe too low for a .223?

Comments appreciated. Thanks.
