Re: Do you use a scope on any of your shotguns?

My main use has been my Tikka 512 SD as previously reported.

http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=341307&page=0&vc=1#Post341307

Tikka 512SD with 12-bore/.223 Remington barrels. Leupold 1-4x scope on top.

For a .223 and requiring fine exact shooting, head shooting rabbits, hares foxes, potentially roos, even deer, an inch off at 100 yards is not acceptable. So I like to keep the scope attached to the barrels.

The mounts can be unscrewed but aren't really quick detachable. One day I'll get someone to make levers for me to replace the round knobs.

A 1x to 1.5x scope seems OK for shotgunning. One needs to get used to it. It's more visual, and less instinctive. Keep both eyes open. I'd like a large red triangle dot option for the shotgun.

I much prefer no scope. I'd not scope the U/O shotgun barrels.

A simple red dot sight, not a scope might be better for the shotgun barrels. But a scope in the 1x to 8x ranges is better for the rifle barrels. Especially the .223. I still haven't scoped the 12-bore/7x65R barrels yet. Have not acquired a scope for it yet. I'd like to get a 1-6x and swap the 1-4x around. Or use my other existing scope.
