No, you’d have to mount the scope pretty high to be able to see the irons. I got this low scope mount:

and this scope:

I couldn’t afford a top shelf scope. Also after researching scopes and mounts for 3 days, I was more confused than when I started. It’s mind boggling!!!!! At least for me.

That looks like a really solid mount.

Your scope would be “top shelf” on my budget. :)

I bought a clearance price Barska Colorado 3-9x40 for my slug gun this year. Since it’s a rifle scope I didn’t really expect it to hold up very well on a shotgun. I was pleasantly surprised. After 20-30 practice rounds with 1-once slugs it never lost zero. I filled my deer tag with one shot.

I’ve had friends with much more expensive scopes comment that the clarity on mine is excellent. I’ve read that optics can be hit or miss in the lower price ranges. I guess I got lucky and got a good one.
