How much would it cost to drill+tap and old wingmaster and buy an appropriate rail for it?
a red dot ultradot west has a lifetime warranty. I have used scopes and red dots like the fastfire 3, I have both on guns right now, the fastfire 3 has a lifetime warranty. I prefer a sight like the fastfire 3, or Ultradot. I'd check into it. Before I drill and tap an old 870 wingmaster I would check with remington to see if it can be drilled and tapped. I have one and was told it could not be. Next best if you can't is to go with a saddle mount, made by Weaver, Millet or B-square. Also eye relief on Bushnell Elite is only 3". I don't think that would be enough for a turkey gun. Maybe if you were shooting 2 3/4" loads, even then a small turkey load has a kick to it to. Good Luck From personal experience Burris has super Customer Service.
I like a scope but I'd look for something with a little more eye relief

the fastfire 3 only has a one year warranty.
This is wrong. Burris has a "forever" warranty on all their optics, FF3 included. It even applies if you buy the sight used.

Might be but if you buy a Fastfire 3 you will see the warranty card says one year warranty only. I bought one. I saw that too before I bought it, kind of misleading isn't it. Call burris if you don't believe me.
No, I don't doubt that's what your warranty card says, but the addition of the Fastfire sights to the forever warranty is recent. You bought your sight before the policy went into effect, or at least the sight was manufactured before the policy went into effect. All Fastfire sights are covered though, even older ones and older models.
Not saying you are wrong, I hope you are right, but I sent Burris an e-mail and asked them, if it is not a lifetime warranty I will post it.
The scope pictured in the original post will work, but there are way better options. I have a $59 3x9x40 Simmons cheapo on my gun right now and it works, but I am upgrading this year. I am leaning toward a pistol scope with extended eye relief.
I got me a Simmons Pro Diamond on my turkey rig and its still going strong. :OGturkeyhead:
Ward is correct, they are all now covered by the forever warranty. I had bought a ff3 that had the one year warranty card in it, but when I went to register my sight online there was no way to report purchase date. I called burris and was told the sight is now inclusive of the forever warranty.

The first fastfire 3 I bought I registered online also and had to put a purchase date on it. I had to send mine back because of numerous problems, They sent me a new one when I registered it, I could not remember my original purchase date so I looked up the invoice and copied the purchase date off of it. Like I said I hope you all are right.
I got tired of waiting for burris to e-mail me so I called them, as of Jan 1, 2014 Fastfire 3 red dots have a lifetime warranty.
