Turkey Guns / Re: Bead or Red dot

Last post by bwhana - February 17, 2026, 08:05:00 PM

I went from the bead to a dead ringer when I switched to LBXR. More for close range shots than out to 40. The tighter patterns required it for me and was not much different with tss. Once the reading glass disease started, I couldn't see both the ring and front bead, so went with red dots. Astigmatism makes them blur a touch, but tolerable. If that gets worse, I'll get a prism scope or quit. The evolution story of aging!

I have one and really like it. However, i  bought it to hunt with and no other reason. It seems well made and has held up well so far. I could see a $250.00 -$300.0 or so price tag for a bare vest but anything more than that is hype in my opinion.

Hey Happy, I know you're a strong guy and all, but aren't those vests a bit on the heavy side for comfortable field use? You know, for normal,  out of shape, middle aged guys? 😆

I bought a Dixon for $125.00 at Bass Pro when they first came out. I hunted it maybe two times. It was so heavy it wasn't funny. I put it in a box and forgot about it. Last year I saw all the buzz and sold it. If I died my wife would have no idea what it was. I bought a new gun with what I got for it. My lawyer buddy who is a gun nut will get her good money for the gun.

I happen to like the new outfits. Some individuals feel the need to express their feelings in a safe space, ours is not to judge, but instead, to  encourage sharing in an environment unencumbered by negativity and harmful words.

3 Items..  One was a Browning Stalker Synthetic stock 10 gauge... The Reason I sold the gun, it was like carrying a ball and chain while spring turkey hunting... LOL.

I wished now that I had kept it... It really was a nice shotgun...

I do still have some of the old Federal 4 / 6 that look at from time to time to remind me of my love hate relationship with that mule kicker / heavy weight shotgun...

The other gun I regarded selling was a Mossberg 835 - 3 1/2 inch short barrel gun... I had a love hate relationship with it also, it was a mule kicker also... I do have some of the old Federal 3 1/2 inch shells left from that gun... lol

The last one was the first real turkey vest I bought, it was a Lynch and I sold it to a guy for 20 dollars, NOW I really do wish I had it back.. It was a shoulder strap type vest with 2 box call pockets ...

20 Gauge Turkey Guns / Benelli M2 Slug Gun Mount

Last post by Dedduc - February 17, 2026, 07:43:51 PM

Does anyone know what kind of a red dot mount would work on a factory Benelli M2 20 gauge slug gun that is drilled from the factory? Sumtoy? Meadow Creek?

When I was younger my dad bought me a nice Mossberg 20ga with rifle sights on it. It was blued and had a pretty wood stock. When I was a teen I think I traded it in at a pawn shop for a camo Mossberg 835 12ga. Now I would love to have that Mossberg 20 gauge back. Later I sold the 835 and got a 870 and went on to kill several turkeys with it when I first started turkey hunting. Now I'm shooting a 20ga 870 so I'm pretty much back to where I started lol.
