I can - with the right scope using a diamond/cross hair reticle it doubles as a range finder. By that I mean a Toms head fills the Diamond shape at 40 yards nicely.
A red dot will not do that.
I have used both and prefer the scope. I have a Monarch Turkey Pro on a few guns now.
There is no battery to contend with and the scope is just my preference which suited my needs better.
Also as I have stated many times my scope is sighted in so I shoot/aim at the waddles and that is the bottom center of my circular pattern. The waddles is a easy thing to concentrate on /takes the guess out of where to aim and that way I know the whole head will be peppered by my circular pattern while that actual impact of my shot or circular pattern is really centered on the center of the neck. It also allows me to see the whole head and neck the whole time.
Hope that makes sense.
and I have taken a few running shots using a scope with deadly results.

Ps - since I don't have a picture on that I had better get er done as it would mean more to actually see the impact.
