I much prefer a scope, but usually go reflex due to the weight of a scope.  I have a Nikon 1.5-4.5x20 w/ Turkey Pro reticle that I love, but between mount, rings, and the scope itself it is a much heavier option.

The Bushnell Trophy on my tang safety Browning BPS affords 9" of eye relief and doesn't interfere with the tang safety.  Good combo for me so far (Red dot is newly added last month).

:TrainWreck1: how bad is it to operate the saftey buttom on a mossberg? the reason I ask is because it is my only gun capable of taking a scope my A5 would have the scope sitting way to high for me to shoot :(

Not bad.

Very nice!! congrats!!

Luke, I bought the Trophy version with the red-dot only, not the version with the four recticles/two colors.

Had both and for pure turkey gun I prefer a 5moa red dot, hands down. If I was using it as a deer slug gun as well, give me the scope.

I agree with this statement. The only difference is I prefer a 3 MOA dot.

I've got two Bushnell Turkey scopes in 1 3/4x - 4x. One's a Bushnell Trophy and the other is a Bushnell Trophy XLT both with the Circle-X reticle. They have worked well for me and you can pick them up for less than $100.00 each.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!
