Best Turkey shotgun red dot?

[N2TRKYS]

Only saying this as I don’t know who is reading. With today’s chokes and modern loads you need sights. Beads very often won’t cut it as we can’t zero

Also, a red dot is easier for me to shoot “wrong handed” should that ‘ol bird come up the wrong side of me.

Some guys won’t spend 500 on a sight that hopefully last a long time. Not knocking anyone but my point is many use TSS, 10 dollars or more a shell. It last long and you’ll forget what you paid on a sight. A bunch of tss gets shot, it ain’t that long before you shell out again. I chose the one time higher expense and shoot lead loads.
Figure with tss if that’s what someone shoots., if they only shot it a couple times with 2-3 dif chokes, loads. Than walked back, checked it before season, buy a 2-3 extra boxes for the season, prob got almost 300 bucks tied up already.

Building a shot trap for tss is very handy. You can easily get 90% of your shot back for reloading it.

Yes a shot trap works but most guys don’t use one. Also reloading is an expense. You gotta shell out for tss, it’s actually not reloading most times with tss anyhow but loading, need to buy hulls, a roll crimper, Mylar, buffer, scales, vibrators, hmmm how close to we to 500 or have we exceeded it? I don’t disagree w you btw this is what I’d do if I shot it

I loved my Romeo 5 on my AR pistol so much I put one on my 835 for turkey and it’s great and only about 150$

I’ve definitely come out cheaper loading my own. Then add in that my loads are more consistent than mass factory loads and I never have ammo availability issues. Lol

Agreed there is just a pretty substantial investment initially. It is what I would do though

I did buy a cheap drill press for the task, though.

How much should I pay?

You can spend about $400ish on a self illuminated RMR. I turkey hunt 25+ days a year. It'll probably last the rest of my life. You'd be hard pressed to bust it. It's an investment in quality gear. Trijicon does have a limited lifetime wty.

I do. It’s easier to beat up a larger sight and you really don’t gain anything from the larger size.

Awesome setup. Do you find a smaller red dot is better than a larger one like the 510c?

I don't know about that. I could see having a preference for an MRO over an RMR due to "sight picture", particularly if you are an "older" shooter. Even as on older shooter with bad eyesight, I'm fine with the RMR, but the MRO is not big, in my book. I run an MRO on my lever gun for deer and hog.

I went with the Aimpoint 9000SC. Works great, tough as all get out and doesn’t lose zero.
