Title: Tasco Bantom
Post by: hawk on June 25, 2015, 02:16:10 PM
I have one of these little scopes. Very long eye relief and was wondering if anyone here has used one on there turkey gun. Will it hold O,stand up to recoil etc.?

I don't have one of these mounted but I do have one of the Simmons pro diamond mounted on my 20 ga. And it does great...I would think if you have your scope already give it a try I know ive read on here about people mounting just regular type scope. I would want whatever you mount at least 4 in. Of eye relief or more..

I have experience with three of these scopes. One was mounted on an 870 12 gauge and after the first 3 inch turkey load shot through it it was done. One is still on a 20 gauge H and R. No problems at all and has been shot about 60 times trying different ammo. The third was on a 20 gauge 870. After two shots with a three inch 20 gauge load the internals broke and there is a wide black line through the middle of the scope. I don't even trust the one on the H and R any more. Going to replace with Simmons Pro Diamond.
