Hey totoe, I've had a Leupold Vari-X II 1x4 shotgun scope on my gun for about 10 years now. I've never regretted the day I put it on there either. I leave it on 1 power most of the time....a fixed 4x scope might be too much power for close in work with turkeys though. I don't have a red dot scope on a hunting gun, only a pistol but I'm sure you couldn't go wrong with one of those either. With the scope though, you don't have to mess with batteries and an on/off switch. Whichever you choose, it will be considerably better than open sights.
