Happy Easter everyone. I have a problem in need of a solution, and I don't want no snide remarks about get a real gun or some other crap like that.
I have a Mossberg Maverick Over/Under and a .32 H&R Mag adapter. I shot it from the over barrel recently and it grouped within 2" at 25 yards. I consider that pretty good for what I was working with.
The problem is that the .32 adapter shot a good 6 to 8 inches low and the sights on the gun are fixed front and rear, so I can't adjust them. I am going to say that this issue must be related to the barrel regulation and that moving the adapter to the under barrel will make it shoot 6-8 inches higher than the POA.
BUT THERE'S GOOD NEWS! The shotgun has a pic rail on the top and I can easily mount a scope or a red dot or something else to help bring the POA to the POI.
That being the case, here's what I need:
- I'd like an optic for shooting anywhere from 15-40 yards with the .32 adapter.
-Price must be under $250
- It must hold up to shooting 12 gauge in the lower barrel.
What do you folks think? I've heard good stuff about Primary Arms red dots and also the Holosun is pretty popular. I also own a Mueller APV adjustable objective scope and could use that, unless there's a non adjustable objective scope available that's better suited for the task.
Also something important to note. I have astigmatism in both eyes, but the right eye is especially bad. I hear red dots don't work to well with astigmatism.
