Will this sight handle the recoil from a 12GA shotgun?

I purchased for use on .243 rifle and it wouldn't hold the dot. Returned and purchased a rifle scope.

Tough to say. I have it mounted on a mini 14. It has held zero through about 200 rounds. But a 12 gauge hits a lot harder. For the price it's worth a shot....

I don't see why it wouldn't , I have put a couple hundred through my ar but a shot gun has a lot more kick though. But for the price I don't think you can go wrong. Mine still functions just fine

I can say that it has handled all of the recoil of my Saiga 12 which is a semi auto and therefore has less recoil than standard pump action. My Saiga's felt recoil a little more recoil than my AR. I couldn't say for sure how it would hold up to a pump or bolt action shotgun especially with high brass rounds.

i dont think so but recoil sure moved it on my rifle with dovetail rail. i had to get scope rings with recoil screw

I've shot a wide range on caliber weapons (.22LR to 30-06) with this sight and never had an issue. UTG make a really robust sight system.

I mounted mine on a rem 870 12 ga. I suppose it will clamp onto any 12 GA or if you already have the rail you could clip it on without the clamp on rail.

Oh, it'll fit the mount and it should survive the 12 gauge but I only have it on a .22 so someone else will have to chime in on it's survival ability. It is a good laser, with scope type adjustments, it should handle it.

The tru glo red green dot is supposed to be built very durable and able to stand up to the recoil of a 12 guage shotgun. Think it would be a good choice to use as a shotgun sight.if you don't mind spending a little more money.the bushnell trs25 is also supposed to be a good choice for a shotgun

It fits on a weaver/picatinney mount, so it should mount with no problem.I'm using it on a S&W15-22; and it works great. The "shock" from a 12 Ga. would be the only question and I don't know have that answer.

I'm guessing not. I ordered this for a Remington 870 with a bead front sight. Did not notice the bead had a base until I received it. It is designed for the bead to fit into the small opening, which would have been perfect, had there been no base. I still snapped it on, & pushed it up to the base, & centered it. It fits tight on my 20g, so should fit even tighter on a 12. If you have a post sight, I'd forget it, though, & look for something else. Good luck.

On a 12GA I don't know but I have it on my glock and I have shot 250rds with the laser on and it maintains the accuracy just fine

Yes it should work just fine. This scope is made for the backwards recoil from airguns.

it shoed work on the 22lr I don't think its shank is big enough for the 12 gauge. shotgun

My guess would be yes, If you have a rail mount on the gun the rail I have it on is a magpul L2 . So far I have only used it on a colt M4 and it holds up to that, but the 12 gauge will have much more recoil. I would say when and if you get it take it out and use it and see if it will stand up to it if not you still have thirty days to return it.

I don't think so, made for 12ga. problem being distance between barrel and magazine tube.

I put .308 in mine and it was a very tight fit I'm pretty sure 12ga shells won't fit.

Yes, I believe so... We have had one on a 12 gauge shooting hornady sabot slugs for years. They kick quite a bit. We recently put one on a 30.06 I have a regular 270 with a Nikon scope on it and it does not kick as hard as either of those other guns so I think you will be ok...

This item works well on ANY 12 or 20 gauge plain barrel (I've used it on both sizes and various manufacturers' barrels). Be advised that if you do not use a spot of glue or LockTite-type product to secure the sight once you have it in place, the sight will move around when bumped, placed in a case, etc. If you do not want to use an adhesive, be sure to check the sight alignment before each trip to the range or field.

I use it on a British Enfield that has comprable recoil. Yes, I would recommend it. It is a good value for this quality of a scope.
