how many of you use scopes for turkey i have a mossberg 500 pump 2oG that im going to use should i use my scope i use the gun for deer and i do not want to take it off if it is not a big deal what should i do

I use a red dot scope on my 835 and love it. I don't see a problem in using the scope for deer hunting as well, but you definitely need to pattern it with buck shot or set it to slugs.

i used the gun for deer last year with the scope will i need to change the scope setting for the turkey loads sry if i explained that wrong

I have a camo simmons I like it

You may. You'll need to pattern the gun and then adjust the scope to get the center of the most dense part of your pattern into the kill zone of the turkey. This may vary from buckshot to turkey shot and from shell manufacturer in either. I hope this makes sense, in a nut shell, different loads pattern different in the same gun. Hope this helps.

yea i understand that we have to use deer slugs in indiana but thanks for the help it is still the same thing so i will try to get to the range this weekend thanks again.

..well i just put a fixed 4 power on my turkey gun...i think i like it
no big deal if i dont it comes off,Just maybe in the woods..AND IN THE CREEK....

I have my Winchester 1300 set-up with a Leupold 1X4 shotgun scope.
Like you, I use mine for both turkey and deer huting just by switching barrels!! The scope is permanently mounted to the reciever of my gun!!

I use a Red Dot on my 500 and My Son uses a 2.5 powered Scope on his 835 we love them
