I guess everyone to them selves, I've hunted with scope for years and would not hunt turkeys any other way, I love the scope. Read the other scope topics and see some view points of the others. I've travelled all across North America hunting turkeys and never had any problems with having the scope off from mishandling. My opinion ,it has made me a much better shooter and safer as I can see most times as to what I plan the squeeze off on before I do...BT
