It didn't have a scope stop on it, but I didn't think that would be a problem. It was. I had a camouflage cover over the scope so I couldn't tell that it was sliding. But I removed it after a couple weeks and low and behold, the scope was only attached by one of the mounts. It was still attached fairly securely but it was hanging off the back. It probably slid about four inches and somehow I didn't notice it. I undid it and then attached it again but it still slides a quarter of an inch after every shot, so I just took it off. The open sights are pretty good, so I'll just use them. After all, it IS a shotgun. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

As for it being a "shotgun"- you are correct in that using a scope is probably just a waste of time- shooting distance is short and the shotgun effect doesn't really allow for precision shooting, period. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

The front bead sight is nice too, so I'm just going to use that from now on. I shot two starlings with it last night and it worked fine. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.
