Default Best Turkey Scope

Looking at purchasing a scope for my Winchester 1300 for turkey hunting. Just wondering what your guys opinions were for the best scope to purchase. Any help would be much appreciated!

I have beat the crap out of a Nikon Monarch Turkey Pro for better than 12 yrs. Once I got the scope dialed in at my desired aim point I have never touched it again.

Nice thing about the reticle - at 40 yards the head of the turkey fills the diamond cross-hair reticle. Doubles as a range finder.

I have the rifle scopes on all but two of my scoped shot guns. One shotgun scope is a leupold vx 1 2-7x33 the other is a redhead basspro 2.5x33. A guy on here had a leupold riflemen shotgun scope for sale at a decent price. Might want to check classified section. The rifleman scope.still has leupold life time warranty no matter who bought it first.

I bought a Tru-Glo Red Dot for shotguns for my turkey hunts but I have never had any luck at all getting it to sight in.. has anyone had this issue? I shoot at 15 yds and say it misses high left. So I do the necessary adjustment and shoot again. It misses way low left. then it will go way right the high left, ect.. Just no rhyme or reason to how it moves as to the adjustments I applied. IT WONT SIGHT IN! $85 down the drain. was it just too cheap for my 12 gauge?
