How would this scope for deer hunting with a Stevens shotgun, and for small game? What kind of attachment should I look for for a single barrel?

This scope is not made for use with shotguns. I think something like a red dot would work better that.

I wouldnt recommend this scope to be used on a shotgun. I would say get you a nice red dot scope. Hunting with a shotgun is usually within 100yards. This scope is more so for a rifle able to reach out to about 300yards or better! A good red dot will do you just fine. Just my opinion.

There are good reviews of this scope using it deer hunting, I have only used it on small game, and it works great. Good and clear and plenty of light at dusk. keeps zero

I have a Stevens/Savage shotgun, I did not mount a scope on it but I did install a lazar - light combo and that works very well. good luck

Its an extremely large scope. I have an Ar-15 and I couldn't imagine putting something this size on it. It depends on what you are doing with your AR though. If you have spent some money changing out the barrel and all the rest and want to snipe with it, this might not be a bad idea. I went with an Eo-tec on mine cause its set up for close combat, but it depends on your set up.

Simmons is a better quality scope. My 10 year old son uses it on his 243 and has killed several deer without missing.

Why would you want to put this scope on that gun? That rifle is a long shooting rifle and the scope is only good to about 300 yards max and you can only varmint hunt at night and if your thinking about pigs then get a semi - auto AR platform.

I bought it for my squirrel slayer: a T/C Contender with a 10" inch .22lr barrel. it did pretty good but I'm into open sights lately. reserving it now for a .357 mag revolver, time will tell if it holds up. the rings are medium height. Would not suggest for a heavy recoil gun, might work ok on AR type.

The glass is phenomenal. At 100 yards, you will not be able to identify .223 holes in paper, but maybe .308 holes in a color-change splatter target. For ranging a small to medium sized animal (jack rabbit through deer) this works absolutely perfect.

Hi there, I bought this scope for a Benelli Super Nove 12 ga. I realized after I purchased it the my shotgun was not drilled/tapped for a scope mount ( most shotguns aren't). I had to take my shotgun to ALocal gunsmith and he drilled-tapped, mounted the scope and bore sighted it for $50. Originally I thought I could mount the scope on the rob but it was way too far forward. The mounts and rings coat around $35. Took it turkey hunting and got a big gobbler at 68 yards. Hope this helps. Darren

I put my on a Remington 770 , .30-06 , and it works just fine. I hunt deer and wild hog.

It depends how much you plan on using it. When I'm hunting, I take the red dot completely off. When I'm just target shooting, I leave it on. I wouldn't buy this for the red dot attachment. It is a really cheap red dot. If you plan on using the scope for hunting I wouldn't use the red dot at all.

Yes, just remember the dovetail on top now will be 3/8, or Weaver. On thing, pick a scope that has adjustments. This sits fairly high on the barrel. As you can see it mounts on the barrel and clamps down. Depending on your scope, it could sit way to high. I removed my scope, used for my paintball gun, because it was to high. Couldn't adjust it down far enough to use it.

Im guessing you want to use it for varmint hunting. It would work good on any rifle used for that purpose and it's a descent scope for the money. I have mine on a Savage B-mag 17WSM, and it works great.

It is fine for #6 and # 4 bird shot, I don't know for rifled slugs just to the recoil is increased for the slug. This is held on only by friction between the sight and the barrel. There is a recess where the front bead rests to keep the sight centered to the barrel.

It's .11 dovetail. The scope can be OK or complete junk. You definitely should upgrade the scope mounts, imo.

Assuming the 3/8" dovetail mount, you should be very happy with this scope. I can't speak to it's weather proofing, but I haven't experienced any problems with mine. A very clear image with a decent range of adjustments. The eye relief is generous allowing for a nice range of scope placement options. For the proce, it is a good airgun scope. I've used mine at both .177 cal and .22 cal with stable solid performance.

I would suggest a 4x32-40 scope. I prefer a Swiss Arms (only $28) or a Leapers ($35-45).

This scope is best mounted on a 0 MOA rail. With is set up this scope will go form 100 yrd to 1120 yards with the turn of one dial. It took a while to get it set up and to understand and it works great. I took 3 other very experienced shooters to the range and they were hitting bull eyes with less than .5 moa at 200 yards with 3 shot groups shooting the rifle for the first time.. I take it to the 1000 yard range that has plates at 150, 250 300 500 750 and 1000 yards. This scope hit them all with a simple turn of the dial. Keep in mind it is not a long range target scope, but is intended to hit an 18" target all the time at any distance from 100 - 1120. This is designed to bracket and shoot at unknown distance. This is a very tall scope and I recommend a stock with cheek riser for final adjustment. The optics are clear and bright. Mine is mounted on a 700 in a Accuracy Int stock. The turrets will hold dope on up to 5 different bullet weight. I shoot 168 for long range hunting and 150 for targets. I would strongly recommend this scope for someone that does not want to spend time with dope calculators. There are many great youtube video to confirm and help you make a final choice.

This is a great scope - I love mine and use it on my 30.06 for elk hunting also. Check out the Spot-On ballistics calculator on the Nikon website to give you the elevation adjustments you will need to make. Very accurate.
