RE: Scope on Turkey Gun
I use a inexpensive Tasco 2.5x turkey scope, and absolutely love it. I have a horrible habit of shooting over with a shotgun from not getting my head low enough on the stock. Now I don't have to worry about it, and have not missed a bird since I put it on the gun. Also, a lot of people with their super tight chokes now have a 2-3" pattern at 15 yards, it is VERY easy to miss a bird at that distance especially if the bird is moving, I will take every advantage I can get. My gun also doesn't pattern dead on with the dual beads on there, so the scope corrects that.
I hate educating birds with a load of #4's going over their heads, and I have done it more times than I care to count. It doesn't happen anymore thanks to my scope.
