Input fast please :)... Red dot scopes
 

I am new to turkey hunting, but I love it. I have a shotgun and I would like to get a red dot scope for it. I am leaning towards TruGlo, because me and my dad both use it for our bows and have great success. What kind do you all use?

Christmas is almost here!

I would prob say that the tru glo is fine... I have a millett on my hand gun and it works great... It did cost around 150.00 thoe...

For me......................No scopes on shotguns (period).

Just make sure you buy a quality one. TruGlo would be a good one among others.

agreed....:popcorn:

Keep it simple. Put a fiber optic bead on the front, and go with that. Less to get hung up on and no batteries to run down.

IMHO At the distances most turkeys are shot, scopes of any sort are not really necessary.

i was guna buy one also and was overwhlmed by all ppl saying just stick w/ fiber optic sites

I have a red dot and absolutly love it but not necessary killed many a jelly head with barrel sights

Im not a big fan of red dots myself. My dad had one on his slug gun for a while and he seemed to like it ok. Took it off though in favor of a regular scope.

I have shot many a Tom without a scope and then I got old and could not see the back ramp and if I did, I lost the front bead.

So scope for me!

I went with a Nikon Monarch some 6 yrs ago.

Well at first I cought my self getting ready to put my 2 cents in about not putting a scope on a turkey gun... Then I thought to my self... He didn't ask if he should put one on or not... So I just kept my opinion to my self...

So with that being said... I wouldn't put a scope on mine either...

The Tru Glo Gobble Stopper is THE best sighting system I've EVER used on a turkey shotgun! I love the multi reticle and the ability to choose from Green to Red in a simple turn of a dial! I also love the outside circle to use as a range finder.... if a strutter is framed by the outside reticle circle..... SHOOT!

i will never buy another truglo after the first i put on my 870

i have a bushell red/green dot that i absolutly love

I don't use a scope for turkeys, but I have a Tru Glo on my sons slug gun that I love. I'd definately recommend it.

I'm actually a bit surprised that some of you don't like optics, especially on a turkey gun. It just seems that I've seen and hunted with folks that have missed numerous Gobblers because they didn't line up their sights properly..... never have this problem, or this excuse, with a quality Red Dot.

Of ALL the game we hunt, it would seem that the critter that presents the smallest target ( a turkey head is a small as they come) would demand the most precise shooting. With todays super tight turkey chokes shooting only a fist sized shot group at close range.... I wan't optics.

I have a trijicon dot on one of my turkey getters and I love it. Best part, NO BATTERIES.

Little more expensive, but it is built a lot tougher.
