Help me put some glass on my new turkey gun

[PEte_A]

Hey folks,

I just picked up a Remington 870 Sureshot Super Mag turkey. These came stock with fibre optic sights, but are also tapped for a rail.

I'd like to put some glass on it, but haven't decided between a red dot reflex, or a low power tradition scope. I would appreciate hearing any wisdom that you might have on the topic.

Thanks,
PEte

I have the 870 sps and put a Bushnell trophy fit scope on it with the turkey reticle and love it. I used Warne scope mounts since they are heavy duty so it could handle the 3.5 inch turkey load recoil and haven't had any issues.

X2!

I have had a Bushnell's on my 11-87's for better than 20 years without fail and have killed a pile of birds with them.

I have a Vortex Venom on my turkey right and absolutely love it. Wouldn't use anything else.

Folks,

Thanks for the input. I will look into all of these options.

I've been using a Leupold 1-4 with the turkey recticle for quite awhile now. It's been 100% and hasn't failed after countless shots of 2 oz hevi-shot in a T/C Encore. I couldn't be happier with it.

Guess there's pros and cons to everything. I believe I'd go scope.

I use the ff3 red dot. It's light and both eyes open. I've never used a scope (fear of catching one in the eye) so I can't comment good or bad

FYI, there's a Bushnell XLT 1.75-4 for sale in the classifieds.

I'd go low power traditional scope.

I have the Bushnell trophy red dot 1x28 red/green on my H&R and a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot on my SP-10.  Both work well but I like the 1x28 better and have never missed with it.  That said,  the TRS works better in low light but I've never shot a turkey until the sun was up good.
