Title: Remington 870 Turkey Scope suggestions
Post by: gaturkeyhunter on February 24, 2020, 05:24:04 AM
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!

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.

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.

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
