Which of these two sights?
 
I have a cheap Centurion Tactical ($79) I took off my AK-47. I also have a Tasco Pro Point that is rated for shotgun use. Though I'm not sure about turkey loads. My question is, do you think the Pro Point would be a "usable" red dot? I don't plan on buying any new scopes this year so I'm hoping I can get by with one of these. Any feedback will be appreciated.

PS - I will be using 3" copper-plated lead #5's with a Undertaker extended non-ported choke tube.
Also the Centurion has a single wide ring for the mount, while the ProPoint has dual tactical rings on it.

Thanks!

No reason why they shouldn't work, has to be better than a single bead on the front of your barrel. Why not mount them to your gun, take them to the range, and give it a go?

Thanks...I'm going to go tomorrow and sight one of them in with regular 6 shot loads at 20yrds. Then when I get some more cash the first of the week, I will get some of the copper-plated lead 3" #5's and finish up patterning and sighting in. I think I'm going to use my short barrel since it is an accu-choke barrel. If I can get a good pattern between 30-40yrds with the short (18-1/2" + the extended choke) I will be a happy camper. I believe with some scouting I will be able to bag my first bird this spring. I also have an Excalibur Vortex crossbow I may use for the fall season. It's deadly accurate so that may be a fun way to hunt them too. But first season I'm going to use the shotgun. :fighting0007:
