Just a update... The smith I took the barrel to actually (after diggin through boxs) found a set of rings that would fit the cantilever there low rings so I can't use anything over a 32MM bell but thats fine .. It was cheaper than putting a different base on it, so I put a 2-7 Leupold I had laying around on it . It should do just fine. Hopfully I can get to range soon and see how it shoots.

Ya got any other Leupold's just lying around? I'm not particular. I can use up to a 56 mm objective... 
Hope the barrel does what ya want! Thank goodness for gun smiths who don't throw anything out! |

Glad to hear that Joe !!!
I'd be sure to let the guy that stiffed ya know everything worked out.........of course I'd make it sound like it only took a couple of phone calls to figure things out and locate a set !!!

Sounds to me like it worked out well. Why would you want a bigger scope that what you have on a slug gun?

A larger bell ( objective) gathers more light. You can see better at dawn and dusk.

I agree. I finally got a scope that can do that but its pretty big and a bit heavy. It does add a few minutes to the day. I use my slug gun for in-close, fast reaction situations so rely on a red dot. A lighted reticle is also nice during low-light situations.

Joe, If you want better light transmission take a look at the Leupold 1.75-6x32mm VX3 Here
The lens system and light gathering capability is superior to any of the 2-7 models !!!
If you think you can sneak a 36mm on they also have a 2.5-8 of the same design.
