Has anyone put this scope on a 12 gauge shooting slugs? I've been looking to scope a Stevens 320 but not sure about it standing up to the recoil.

Yes i've used this on an AR and it has worked fine but some low end UTG scopes like this are meant for airsoft applications. Not sure how it would hold up to some of the higher slug loads.

Mounted on the tube of a Stevens 320. Fits well and withstands the recoil w/o becoming loose (did use blue locktite on screws).

I can only comment on the gun that it's mounted on, which has a fairly heavy recoil. A 7 mm Remington magnum. I've only fired 20 rounds with this scope on this gun, and it seems to work well.

ours is mounted with high rings on a 308 precision rifle...so far after several hundred rounds we have had zero problems. it is made for big heavy recoil rifles... seems to be holding ok. 3/4 inch per click at 300 yds...have not shot it at longer range...hope this helps

Recoil shouldn't be an issue, I swapped it on a 30-06 and it worked fine...I might be concerned about the eye relief if it were mounted too close to the stock on the shotgun though.

I just came back from elk hunting with this scope mounted on a 300 Weatherby mag. I sited it in at 100 yes. Dropped my animal at 225. Scope held true to the test. I have no complaints.

Hi. I just placed the boresight on my Mossberg 500. It seems to work fine on the 12 gauge. Have a good day.

While i do not have one on a muzzle loader i do have one on Weatherby 30-06 and it has been the perfect scope for me extreme clarity very accurate and rarely requires anything more than a slight adjustment every couple of years if then. and thats with a lot of shooting.

In all fairness, all makers list by heir scopes as being recoil proof, but never list what might be a max caliber. I would think with all my testing with several different calibers I would not be worried at all . It's a great scope at a good price point and I feel you would be fine. Like everything we buy, we take a gamble, and with the background of this maker you should be good to go ! If I am wrong feel free to blast me accordingly !

There are very few scopes that can handle the recoil of a shotgun. Just bumping a scope can knock the sight picture out of alignment. You will need a higher end scope designed for a high powered rifle. Then again, if you're shooting a shotgun more than ten yards you won't hit the same spot twice anyway so you might as well go for it.

Not sure about working on a 12 ga but I used it to sight in my 22LR ruger 1022 and it worked well. When using it at any distance you have to do it in low light areas. I sighted mine during the evening as the sun was setting.

I mounted my Accushot scope on a Gamo Bull Whisper Extreme 177 caliber to test the strenght of the internals of the scope. After 750-1000 rounds it still is very accurate at 40 yards. After my test, I would not mind putting it on a 300 win mag. As a hunting scope in low light conditions it is good for the money. I like the lighted rec.

my opinion only I have used it on an ar 10 .308/7.62x51 nato that weighs 14 lbs. as a duck hunter im going to say if you use 3.5 inch 12 gauge magnums in an 8 lb. gun that has far more recoil than a 308 rifle this is my answer, have it laser boresighted and use it only when that big tom steps out for shot upon shot over and over no.

Anyone use this on the SACR 17 in .308?Looks like an amazing defense, hog hunting and paper punching scope.

do you have a good mount? mine works well on my ar but a shotgun hits a little harder. I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

I had this scope on my AR but did not like the look. It functioned fine but for close range more than was needed and not practical. If you only use your AR for longer ranges then I would be fine. Recoil not an issue.

Have it mounted on a Gamo hornet .177 and have it zeroed at 30 yards and shooting 10.5 grain crossman premier domes. Is good to about 45 yards then starts dropping off. Being it's a mill dot scope at 75 yards I hold over 3 dots and am spot on. Hope this helps as I have been very happy with scope.
