[QUOTE="preventec47, post: 2867049, member: 22159"] I have an H&R single shot 12ga and I only enjoy shooting slugs from it. It only has a front bead sight and I have an idea for adding precision sights without drilling screw holes in the barrel and weakening it. I bought some rings that fit over and tighten on the barrel ahead of the stock that effectively attaches weaver scope mounts and they are mostly used to add flashlights to the bottom of the barrel for self defense shooting. My idea is to rotate the weaver scope mounts to the top and try to attach some kind of RED DOT sight to them so that they would be in a typical SCOUT SCOPE location. I have never used a red dot sight so My question is, IF red dot scopes are mounted far forward in the Scout Scope location would they work well? IT seems to me that if red dot scopes are mounted on pistols that are held at arms length...... That the distance to the eye would be similar and should work reasonably well. Keep in mind this will be a smooth bore 12 ga gun and I think I would be lucky to group shots in a 12 inch circle at 50 yards. Or does anybody think I might be able to do better ? Or maybe as good as black powder guys do with muzzle loaders and balls. [/QUOTE]
