I've already have the set up now. I'll be sighting the shotgun in tomorrow and I'll know if it will work or not.

I have no problem w/ just the irons, in fact I would rather prefer the irons over the scope for where I'm shooting, but its just that the shotgun doesn't seem to fit me too well. When using the irons, it seems as if I have to stretch my neck to achieve a proper sight picture, and on top of that it always seems as if my non-firing hand needs to be WAY out there to be able to operate the slide.

Since putting on the scope, I've noticed that I'm not straining as much when I mount the shotgun. It doesn't feel "weird" anymore.

So, I'll see if the scope will hold its zero, or last at all. BTW, the Bushnell Banner scope is marked as a "shotgun scope" on the box, so I'm hoping that it will last.
