mossburg 695 slug gun
Question:
Jim, Sorry, but shot will not work in a rifle barrel. I tried 00 buck at 15 yards and did not hit the half sheet of plywood. Also, this is going to kick hard. Long eye relief and a stronger scope is needed. Leupould(?) makes a 2 – 8 varII that will work well on the 695. > Hey,,,, > I just purchesed one of these.

Is the > only difference between a shotgun scope and rifle scope the eye relief? Also, > can i shoot shot down it although it has a rifled barrell? I would like to use > it as a turkey gun also, if possible.

I have a 4x rifle on mine now and works fine. You’ll need high rings to clear the bolt handle though. The problem with shooting shot in a rifled barrel is the pattern tends to dougnut from the twist. I doubt if there is a choke device that would correct the problem for your gun. Sorry. C. Plater Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

OK, yes you can, but the rifling will spin it so much that you will have a scatter gun not much good beyond 15 yards. OTOH, it should make a good home defense gun to splatter shot all over the opposite wall of a room. samg Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/
