Hey there, friends...
Just yesterday, I picked up an H&R combo that includes three barrels, a 20 gauge smooth-bore, a 20 gauge, rifled slug barrel, and a .30-30 rifle barrel. The slug and rifle barrels have iron sights on them, which is fine by me, but I've been thinking about getting a scope to mount as well.
I know that it's improper to put a rifle scope on a shotgun because the recoil beats up the scope and, if you're not careful with the eye relief, your face.
If I bought a shotgun scope, though, could I mount it on both the slug and .30-30 barrels? In other words, is it fine to use a shotgun scope on a rifle?
Obviously, it would be nice to have two scopes, but I'm a bit budget conscious, especially when I could spend that money on ammo instead.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Josh
