Has any one used this scope on 12 gauge? And what was the out come?

No, I have never used this with a shotgun, but it is definitely sturdy enough.

This holder is definitely made for 12 ga only. It holds my shells snugly, so I don't see it working for a different gauge.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

The rifle and scope combined are probably too heavy for a 12 year old. I'm an avid squirrel hunter in the swamps of north Florida and my bolt action 22 with a big leupold scope is lighter than the wood stock Crossman. Target shooting off hand will not be much fun for a 12 year old. Check the specifications on weight. I forget what it weighs but it is, I'm almost sure, well over 6 lbs.

I don't know I put it on a 12 gauge shotgun for turkey hunting and it works very well on it. You can pick your gun up any time of the day and aim and the red dot is there and clear. This was my first time turkey hunting and I shot one time and got a big gobbler with it.

I sent mine back. I didn't like the scope at all. I would look into Mueller scopes. You can get a 24x or 32 x for a few bucks more. I have these relatively inexpensive scopes on all my asault rifles Remington 700 and .22 rifles. They are great. Look into them, do a little research. Hope I helped you out. If can't get them here try optics planet.

Ron, I just bought one of these. Wondered if you found a scope, red dot, etc. that you liked. Thanks.

It should easily fit a 12 gauge. I used it on my 20 and there was quite a bit of extra material that I had to cut off.

Mine is mounted on a 308. I have not tried to acquire anything over 500 yds but it is very accurate to that distance. I is a great scope for the money.

I returned the scope. It was a well built Really nice scope but I put it on a barnett rc 150 and it WOULD NOT zero on my bow. My bow it hitting close to 300 fps and this scope should have worked I wish it would have because I really liked it. Maybe I just got a defective one.it was too close to deer season for me to keep messing with it so I just put my old scope back on and re zeroed it.

Of course the gauge of your particular shotgun has a great deal to do with the "OD" of your gun barrel but I think it would fit on all gauges up through 12 gauge if not larger. I use them on a scope with a 56 mm tube coupled to a green "hog light" and it works well.

Sorry can't help you. I just utilize the scope that came with the rifle. It's been a good rifle for me.

I have moved it around several times without any failures. It was 1st on Kel-Tec sub 2000, then AR, and finally Ruger Mk lll and it has preformed very well in these applications. Can't say how it would be on a shotgun (haven't tried). My sub 2000 is 40 cal. and has very noticeable recoil, but not like 12 ga.

It's just over 12" long. It's pretty much a "full sized" scope (at least it is on my 10-22). Hope this helps.

I have one mounted on a 12 gauge and have fired hundreds of rounds of 2 3/4 high brass and 3 in magnums with no issues.

Hi robert, I wouldn't get this scope if I were you. I ended up scrapping it for leopold scope instead. It couldn't handle the recoil of a remington .380. Not sure what caliber you have but, beware.

I haven't used this scope on that gun yet but I have used that gun before. That being said, the design of the scope is pretty good considering the price. I have this sited at 100 yards and I have used it through 300 rounds so far and I haven't had to adjust it yet. The dials are solid and can be tightened in place to prevent it from moving during recoil. A side note, do not get this one. You need to find the one that is shorter. This one is waaay to long for the Henry. This measure at something like 16 inch. Check ebay because I don't think amazon has it right now. the shorter one looks like this 12x version: UTG 3-12X44 30mm Compact Scope, AO, 36-color Mil-dot, Rings I haven't used this scope on that gun yet but I have used that gun before.
