Default RE: Scope for turkey gun

As most have said , get the scope you like. As for magnafication , your going to want a low power as when hunting birds , it is all close shots. I use the tasco 1.75x5 and leave it on 3 power. I like to see the head up close and personal when a squeeze off on the trigger. But I do not use the scope to judge as the bird moves into range , I always look over the scope untill I'm ready.

Another great idea that I have used for years is flip open scope caps, as it tends to rain at this time of year. Never had a problem with opening up the caps when the bird is in range. Make sure if you plan on useing caps , fined a pair that fits tight on the scope , as I have found some that do pull off on branches...BT
