Short Range Brush Gun

[TaperPin]

I appreciate all the input. I probably should have included a budget. I probably need to stay around $500 or less. I know the rule is to spend more on optics than the rifle, but I'm having a hard time justifying that for 75 yards. I've got a 336 in .35 Rem that I might put something nicer on. I think the range and recoil justifies it.

One of Leupold 2.5x shotgun scopes would be ideal, as FLS said above. Eye relief is great - over 5”. Used these can be picked up for $300ish in new condition.

I have a 1x Sightron muzzleloader/shotgun scope and it’s fantastic - if you can see it with the naked eye, you can hit it with this scope in all light conditions. Eye relief is way out there, like 5”. Used, I paid less than $100 for one in new condition.

Burris made a 2-1/2x not too long ago that I’ve seen for $200 used.

Used old 2-1/2x Weavers are $75, and Redfield would be $150ish.

For the most part googling shotgun scopes will show a wide variety.

The used market for fixed 4x scopes is even better.

Nice of you to recommend an optic that’s 3x his max budget

The passive aggressive sarcasm really doesn’t benefit anybody here.
Here’s an optic that is closer to OP’s budget.

My point was that he set a max budget of $500, and you recommended a $1400 scope.

Dude, I haven’t been beating a dead horse. I replied with one comment to your reply.

I used a 1-4 accupoint for years on my brush gun but as I got older, I realized I was giving up a lot of low light performance. I picked up a used Meopta 6X42 and man what a difference. it's small, lightweight and crazy good in these dark bottoms I hunt.
