I've got an 870 I use for deer hunting. I have the fully rifled barrel with the cantalevered scope mount. I've got a Bushnell 3x9 scope on it. My problem is that the scope is sliding in the scope rings. First time I had this problem I took the scope out and cleaned the scope and rings to make sure there was no factory oil left on them and put them back together. That was fine for 2 years. This year, it was fine when sighting in before deer season. 10 shots in a nice group. I was happy. Shot a deer on Sat. It went down, but was trying to get up. Second shot was a foot low and to the right. Third shot even worse. Luckily, the deer didn't get up. Later, I looked at the scope and could see it moved 1/2 inch in the rings. I'm damn lucky the first shot wasn't off. I'm thinking that maybe the recoil of a shotgun is different than rifles? Maybe I need a set of rings that are made for a shotgun, if such a thing exists? Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations for good scope rings for a shotgun. And, any recommendations on what to stay away from. Certainly, I won't be getting Millet rings for it again. Thanks. |
