(probably need the base) This is a turkey gun only of course I haven't owned or used a turkey gun with a red dot, at least yet anyways so my opinion isn't probably what you want. It would probably depend on personal preference like most things in life but the 3MOA is where I would be going.

Thanks again!

Thanks again! What kinda birds are you hunting? Cornish hens? At 40 yards, the dot would cover up all of 3.2 inches. Once poults can fly, they’re several inches tall.
