What is everyone's favorite scope for a turkey shotgun? I have always used a bead but looking to switch it up next year.

a scope on a turkey gun is an abomination....


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

A bunch will whine about too many hunters then suggest a red dot and choke and shells that can kill one at 75 yds.

Switched to this last year. Only regret is not doing it sooner. My effective range is 45 yards and closer with LBXR #6.

Seems like a scope would be awkward.
If you are talking red dots, then I like the swampfox options.
Vortex Venom next, the Burris ff3.
I haven’t used or seen the ff4.

Front and mid bead. I don't want anything that requires batteries atop my turkey gun and a scope is absolutely off the table.

I bought a barrel from brownells for one of my 870s with factory iron sights. If I get in the middle of some bad juju, that’s the gun I’ll be carrying the next morning.

It's heavier, but I like the EoTech, due to the type reticle, it being holographic, and way more eye relief and no worry of keeping one's head down on the stock..

Been using it for a while.

Mine has a Tru Glo bead and rear sight that has windage adjustment, works well.
