RE: scope or red dot?
I currently have the Leupold 1X4 shotgun scope on my turkey gun. It has never failed me yet, even after 11 years of use as a deer/turkey gun!! Not including all the range work sighting it in each season, and testing out many shell/choke combonations!! Spend the money on a good quality scope right off, then you'll never have to worry about it!! Take the actual cost of the scope and spread it out over the lifetime of the gun, and it doesn't seem so dam expensive after all, does it!!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
