Buckmaster7600 Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I’ve been using optics on turkey guns since the 90’s. Started with low powered scope, then went to red dots, then to reflex sights. Now I have both reflex and red dots setup on turkey guns. My favorite is a reflex sight leupold delta point or trijicon rmr in particular but they’re essentially useless in the rain. My benelli m2 has a aimpoint micro T2. I mainly use that in the rain/snow because it has built in lens covers and with a little rain on the lenses I’m still able to see the dot and the turkey. What kind of optic are you guys using on your turkey guns?
G-man Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I use a reddot from armitron must be 30 years old , works well I like the adjustability of red or green and the size of the dot.. need a fine point when the pattern is so tight at 20 to 25 yards...
Lawdwaz Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Burris Fast Fire 3 on my SBE. I've come to really like it. mowin 1

escpen Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I have a Vortex venom and a vortex crossfire red dot on a couple of my turkey guns. They’ve both worked well for me.
dbHunterNY Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Burris fast fire setup on a speed bead mount. It's mounted between the butt stock and receiver. I can still see my front bead through the lens if it dies.
DirtTime Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I had a TruGlow Gobble Stopper on the Savage 301 I traded. Great scope but that thing was huge. I put a CVLife red dot on the shotgun I bought last Spring. For a $50 scope its stayed accurate, well, as accurate as a scope can be, zeroed with shot anyway.
WNY Bowhunter Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Used a Sig Sauer Romeo 5 last season on my newest turkey gun. It worked fine but I will probably upgrade to a reflex type sight at some point...
WNY Bowhunter Posted March 26 Posted March 26 https://williamsgunsight.com/our-sight-technology/ I like the looks of this one but not much for reviews on it at the moment...
Belo Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Started with a more expensive Mueller slate reflector. After 2 warranty returns for cracked glass I switched to the much cheaper, but more durable bushnell trs. Only feature I liked that the Mueller had, that the bushnell doesn't is an auto-brightness. As every turkey hunter knows, the brightness of your optic changes dramatically from early dawn to full sunlight and having to monkey with that is just one more thing to do and worry about doing and also movement to be busted by if you forget to increase the brightness to adjust for sunlight. https://www.muelleroptics.com/products/mueller-quick-shot-1x22x33-camo/ https://www.bushnell.com/red-dots/shop-all-red-dots/trophy-trs-25-red-dot-sight/BU-731303.html "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12
LET EM GROW Posted March 26 Posted March 26 I use Fast Fire 3, Several ADE green and red dots, as well as the older Tube style on Turkey guns that don't get used much. The ADE is the same foot print as the FF3 if one wanted to get a low pro base for it. Used red dots my whole life, Now im loving the green dots!
