Save up some more money or borrow some and get a Fast Fire II or III.

Why not? People spend way more on camo, decoys, calls, gas, permits, license...ect
A one time purchase is nothing compared to these cost. If you want tight groups you got to have a good sight. fastfire is good. It is what I reccomend. I have sold two rigs with them on it.

Maybe you should get a set of Williams sights and save your money . BUT if you ever do break down and try a Fast-fire you wont be sorry even at $200 -$250

Im gonna be honest,You might as well put a Good Scope or Sight on it the first time,Ive bought 4 Different scopes and Fiber optics to find the one i love the best,I Went with a Bushnell 1.75x4x32 with a Turkey reticle and A New fibre optic Dual bead sight for back up,Buy what you want but to get quality you do have to spend a little more,Good luck with whatever you pick,To be honest,i have killed more turkeys with Open fiber optic sights and prefer them.

If you don't mind a tube style sight, this one works great, and can take the punishment dished out from mag turkey loads. Also comes with free shipping, I believe.

What do you guys think of the Redfield scopes?

For $175 they seem to be good value, made by Leopold in the USA.

I went with a Sight Mark 14000. It has a lifetime warranty and is built like a tank and is shock proof.

Lenny, sooner or later you will regret that statement.

Lenny I too never missed with fiber optic, however I like to see the whole bird while aiming. with a red dot the barrel is not in the way. And the red dot is more adjustable and covers less area on the bird.

I agree with the others who said Mueller, Bout a 100$.

I just picked up a Bushnell TRS-25 4 mil. dot micro tube sight after reading MANY good reviews on it.  Got it on Ebay from a Bushnell authorized dealer with very high feedback ratings (99.7% in 246,828 sales!).  Paid $84 bucks shipped.  It should fit on the Rear mount (336 tap) of my 870 20 gauge without any issues.  I have the trophy multi reticle on my 835 that has been abused for going on 8 or 9 years now without a single hickup and only going through 2 batteries so far.  Nothin beats my FF II though!  Free plug for Burris Optics.   :toothy12:

They have REALLY gone up in quality since Leopold took them over a few years ago. Nothing wrong with those scopes, IMO. Great value.
