Tristar Shot Gun and ATN 410 Spartan Fail

I was weary about mounting a heavy night vision scope on a shotgun. I should have trusted my gut instincts. The ATN guide states you can mount this thing onto a .308 caliber rifle, I believe their Ad. I think shotguns just have a completely different type of recoil? But I am no rifle expert by any means. I now have the ATN mounted on an SKS with considerably much lower recoil. I also mounted a standard rifle scope on my slug gun. Why a rifle scope? Because these slugs can def. reach out and touch someone as you will see in my next video.

Hi SpecialEd309, I’m a fan of your videos. I’m in the UK and I have this same scope mounted on a Winchester SXP. I have had no issues so far with recoil and scope damage but it is something I’m weary of. The SXP has a free floating bolt which disengages and ejects the case, provided you’re not holding the forgrip. I think this helps with absorbing recoil. I try not to use high velocity slugs and cartridges, generally stick to 1300fps as recoil is fairly standard. I will try and do a video.

@cakefart444 the railing i had on their was aluminum. steel is much stronger.

@SpecialEd309 Do you still use the Scope on the shotgun? Had any issues with recoil damaging the scope in general?

[SpecialEd309]

@cakefart444 nope sitting on an A.R. and no damage.

For some reason, my Cobra will only hold four rounds. Any idea why that might be?

[SpecialEd309]

@temporaryscars hmmmm is there a plug?!  Undue the barrel and see if there is a shell plug in there.

Nice gun. Sub if you leave her alone..

To save money tristar put a cheapy aluminum picatinny rail on their shotgun instead of a quality steel milspec rail. If DD Ross or Badger Ordnance made that rail your scope would most likely have just internal failings from the recoil.

@hopecamel if you will scroll down on these messages and click on "tristarrep" he will be able to answer that question better than I.
