Are you looking for the best shotgun scopes in your budget while in today's video, we break down the top five best shotgun scopes that are available on the market. I made this list based on my personal opinion and I tried to list them based on their price quality, durability, and more to see the more information about these product. I found these products much helpful for people like you. You can check out the description below also make sure you subscribe for more videos. Okay so let's get started with the video. Number 5. Loipold VX Freedom 3-9x40 muzzle loader ultimate slam. Our favorite scope for deer hunting is another member of loipold's VX Freedom lineup, the VX Freedom 3-9x40 muzzle loader ultimate slam. Despite the name, this scope is designed for both muzzle loaders and shotguns. A higher magnification compared to other shotgun scopes makes this scope well suited for slug guns since they require more precise shots. This scope has the high quality glass and lens coatings that loipold is known for, offering excellent optical clarity and light transmission ideal for the low light settings when deer are most active. The larger objective lens relative to most other scopes on this list allows even more light into the scope for a brighter picture. Like our top pick, this scope is very well made. The lenses have scratch resistant coatings and the body is waterproof, fog proof, shock proof, and resistant to extreme temperatures and elevation changes. Again, loipold famously stress tests their scopes thoroughly, so this one should have no problem standing up to your shotguns recoil. Number 4. Vortex Optics Diamondback The Vortex Optics Diamondback 1.75-5x32 is excellent for those who want low magnification without going all the way to a red dot. The 1.75-5x magnification range provides gentle magnification, ideal for the short ranges where shotguns are best. The scope's precision glide director system allows for smooth transitions between magnification levels. The Diamondback has fully multi-coded optics and features a deadhold BDC reticle. While you don't typically need a BDC reticle for a shotgun scope, vortexes is pretty simple so that it won't be distracting or overcomplicated for your needs. The 32mm objective lens will let him lots of light. The 100-yard parallax setting is suitable for a scope that's not designed specifically for a shotgun. The Diamondback is also very durable. It features a single-piece aircraft-grade aluminum body with a hard-anodized finish. Its waterproof, fog proof, and shock proof with O'ring seals and argon gas purging. Other notable features include the fast-focus eyepiece, 3.5-inch-eye relief, and capped turrets. Number 3. EOTEC-EXPS2 EOTEC-as-red dots are slightly different from most in that their holographic sights rather than reflex sights. Without going into too much detail, these sights can project their reticle to appear on the same focal plane as the target. This makes reflex sights more accurate and easier to shoot. They're also better for shooters with astigmatism. It weighs 11.2 ounces, which is on par with the lighter magnified optics recommended here. Essentially, that high weight for the size is due to the electronic components required to power the sight. The EXPS2 utilizes a CR-123 to get 1,000 continuous hours of battery life. It has 20 daylight brightness settings, but is not night vision compatible. Number 2. Trudlow True Bright 30 Hunter This scope is ideal for close-range hunting of a white variety of game, from garments to hogs to deer. The 1x minimum magnification allows you to use the scope with no magnification, but you still get the benefit of up to 4x magnification when you need it. The circle duplex reticle is exactly what it sounds like, a duplex reticle with a circle around the center for faster target acquisition. While it wasn't designed specifically for shotguns, it's an excellent reticle for shotguns. The wide field of view, large exit pupil, and long-eye relief help provide a clearer, brighter sight picture. This is good since the lenses are fully coated, but not multi-coded, and the scope subjective lens is relatively small. Number 1. Trudlow 4 x 32 mm compact Trudlow is probably best known for their night sights, but they also make some decent budget-friendly scopes. The 4x32 mm compact is a great little scope for hunting turkey and deer with a shotgun. The diamond reticle was explicitly designed for that purpose. It's similar to a standard duplex reticle, but has an additional diamond surrounding the center where the lines thin. The scope is fixed magnification, so you only get 4x magnification at all times. The lenses are fully coated, but not multi-coded, so you get improved clarity and brightness compared to uncoated lenses, but you shouldn't expect the same quality you'd get from a more expensive scope.
