Remington 870 Turkey Scope suggestions

Guys,  patterning in my gun today I have found old age creeping up on me on my eyesight.  I need to look into getting a turkey scope.  I want a good quality bang for the buck reliable scope to put on my Remington 870 mainly for magnification purposes.  Camo would be a plus but quality first.  I've mounted quite a few scopes on rifles but never a shot gun so I assume i'll need to buy mounting brackets.  HELP!

Weaver makes one for turkey hunting.

Thank you for the suggestion. The Turkey Kaspa appears to be discontinued by Weaver unfortunately.  That was one of the ones I was looking at.

That sucks! Sorry about that.

If your 870 is drilled and tapped you can purchase a picatinny or weaver style rail to mount rings. Option 2 is getting your receiver drilled and tapped by a gunsmith or purchasing a saddle mount. Several options to mount a scope on an 870.

Leupold 1x4 shotgun scope is good quality and about 9 ounces

Cdnn has camo Bushnell trophy 1.5x4 for $69. A lot of guys like them

Ditto on the Leupold. I have one on an 1187 set up for my son. You may also want to check Nikon for 1.5 x 4.5. I have a discontinued  Nikon Turkey pro on my 870. Love both of them. More importantly make sure you don't skimp on the rings.

Good luck
