I need to check one of mine. Was thinking I had put a scope on the 22-250 I took off another gun. Haven't fired it in a couple years. Coyote hunting time. Need to get it out and verify scope is on target (assuming scope was indeed mounted.) If none on the 22-250, I would think this scope would be an excellent compliment to the Savage. Do you guys know if this will hold up to the recoil of a 22-250?

I would think so as I've seen them on slug guns, muzzle loaders and ARs.

Why can't you put that on a shotgun? The BDC is universal. You use their Spot-on software to determine the reticle settings for your particular load.

So, a BDC rifle scope will work on my 12 gauge Mossberg without any calibration issues?

Yes but the points on the reticle may be different ranges depending on the zero distance, the bullet weight, the barrel length and the caliber.

Someone want to do the math for me please to see if it would work?

12 gauge Mossberg 500, 24" rifled barrel
After scope purchase, I'd use: Hornady 12 GA SST® 300 gr FTX® Slug

Velocity (fps) / Energy (ft-lbs)
Muzzle 50 100 150 200
2000/2664 1816/2196 1641/1793 1482/1463 1341/1198

Trajectory (inches)
Muzzle 50 100 150 200
-1.50 2.40 2.70 0.00 -6.70

It's only natural that the proven performance of Hornady's SST bullet enter the world of shotgun hunting. This slug allows you to bring unheard of accuracy and terminal performance to slug-only areas. The super-accurate FTX® bullet delivers sub-2" groups at 100 yards; and the flattest trajectory on the market. Designed for use in fully rifled barrels only.

I got mine yesterday. A good buy IMO. If and when you register it online, that scope is not an option. Let me know if you see different.
