Need your advice!
I just purchased what is to become my main smallgame-gun, a Huglu 870 knockoff. I'm not discussing the gun, but how I should set it up.
It has a 65cm barrel, and imp cyl.
I know for a fact that I'll go duckhunting with my father in law, and the season opens mid august. And I'll use it for sure for dove and quail at my mother in laws farm. Later in the fall I may go hunting rabbit/beaver/fowl-hunting a ways away, and right before the deer-season ends, I'd really like to go deerhunting in the wintersnow, to test my trackingskills.
So I was thinking, what kind of optic/sight should I mount?
Im thinking that a scope is good for deer, but useless for shooting birds in flight. Bead is great for birds, but I dont wanna take a 50 yard shot at a deer with a slug using bead sight. Just isnt comfortable for me.
What I'm asking is; What kind of optic should I mount on my shotgun?
I want it to be usefull for most purposes of hunting (esp those above),
and I dont wanna have to take it off/on and sight it in everytime I change the species I hunt.
Was thinking about the Bushnell Trophy Red Dot with a 6moa dot.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
