Title: Scoped Slug Shotgun or Iron Sights?
Post by: SeatoSummit88 on September 28, 2016, 11:40:12 AM: Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to ask peoples preferences and thoughts on hunting big game with a 12 gauge rifled shotgun; using a scope or going with an open sight?

thanks!

For short ranges - out to 75 yards - I'd go with a red dot type sight - if shooting beyond that, a scope
