I have 2 of the Nikon Turkey Pro , which are the best in my book... both of mine have the anti-glare shields ... Also for the money i have Simmons pro Diamond on my 870 , 20 gauge which has been a good scope, it has good reviews ....
What camo pattern to the Nikon Turkey Pro's use? I am a Nikon fanboy and would like to add one next year and want to see if Tarjac can match the pattern if I decide to get the gun dipped. Thanks for the help in advance.
They came in different camo patterns ... the 2 i have are mate black finish .... If you find one it will cost you between 250 - 400 dollars ....
The newer Nikons came in Matte black/ Realtree APG/and Mossy oak breakup..The older ones were Matte Black/Realtree  Hardwoods green I believe?/and one also in a Mossy oak if I remember correctly. The old ones are 1x4s. I would just get the scope dipped to match the gun imo.. :icon_thumright:
Dippers are not real big on dipping scopes, Tarjac has a disclaimer on dipping them on their page as a matter of fact. Thank you very much for the information though, I truly do appreciate it. Is Nikon still making a turkey scope? I can't seem to find any.
Matte black goes with everything!! (Trust me the Turkey's won't care) :you_rock:  and No ...They worked to good they had to discontinue them.

I've had a Simmons pro diamond on my 11-87 for years and so far so good.

I have the Simmons also.  Make sure it is the Simmons Master Series.  I've have it on a 12 ga 870 cantilever barrel and it has performed with no problems.  You should be able to find one for under $100.  Decent eye relief.  I will occasionally switch out the choke tube and turn it into a hog or deer killer using slugs.  Good luck.

I've run a Simmons Pro Diamond 1.5x4 for years on an 870 and an 11-87 Super Mag.  Great scope!  The diamond in the reticle makes for a great range finding tool.

Dipped 2 scopes with no issues what so ever. Had to sign a waver but the simmons and nikon had zero issues.

Good to hear but I would much rather match gun to scope if possible, I don't have the greatest luck.
