I know that this subject has been covered many times hereon the forum but I really need some information. I was checking the sights on my Win Sx3 and noticed that seeing the front Tru-Glo fiber optic sight was a challenge for me. Would you all consider installing a shotgun scope. I'm looking at the leupold and the nikon. So, what do you guys think. Who on here uses a scope on their turkey gun?
I am not a fan of using a scope...if you have to make a quick shot, they can be a hindrance. My personal preference is a single fiber optic strip on the end of the shotgun...just what I like.

I'm in the same boat as Bible_man. Turkey hunting isn't a long range sport. It seems to me a scope would make it tougher to make a moving or flying shot. I see no need for a scope on a turkey gun.
I agree, also don't prefer scopes. How big is the fiber in the sight? My 1300 came with fiberoptic sights but were on the thin side, not as bright as aftermarket sights. Maybe you could try another sight.
Good luck

Kim, that's the sight that is on my gun now. It seems that the front light tube has weakened over the years. Truglo sent out some new tubes on Monday. We'll just have to wait and see what comes in the mail.
The comb on my x3 is higher than my 870 or my 835 wich requires me to either choke back or constantly reposition my head on my gun... my advise is to get something that stands up off the barrel like tru glos gobbler stopper or some other u shaped fiber rifle sight and sight in with it
Time is closing in, what do you all think about the sight at the top of this page???????? Browing also makes a sight that will fit the Winchester Super X 3 like mine but I can't find the link right now. I know that ya'll are going to say that I need glasses and I have a pair but I sweat so badly that I spend more time cleaning them I can't concentrate on the hunt. They fog badly also. The scope may be my only option.

Can't make up my mind
