Looking for a scope for next season

I am thinking of putting a scope on my gun for next season I noticed patterning my gun this year I was having trouble seeing the target. I have a vortex venom on it now. What scope would you suggest.

Nikon Monarch Turkey Plex, no longer made, but you can find them used. Leupold makes some great Shotgun scopes. Vari-X 2 1x4 power s a great option. eBay usually has some good ones, used, but some are like brand new. Unfortunately, the red dot craze has limited availability and manufacturing of a real good Turkey Scope. One more is the Weaver Kaspa. 1x4 turkey scope. Comes in camo too. These are regularly on eBay....good luck....

I waited patiently and finally found a used Leupold VX I 1x4 Shotgun scope. Made in 2011 but looks new. I put it on my Benelli Nova 20 ga. Keep an eye and ear out and be patient and I am sure you could find one too.

I have the Leupold Turkey Plex, great scope. Depending on who you talk to I often here this one or the Nikon mentioned above is the best, I have never seen the Nikon though so I can't comment to which is better. There are 2 versions of the Leupold Turkey Plex, I have the 33mm and understand there is a 20mm one as well. I thought there was a larger one but can't find it.

Whatever one you choose, make sure it is rated for shotguns. We all know the modern turkey loads kick like a starving mule. They have to be built to take a pounding. Also important to use good quality heavy rings. Burris Tactical rings are super tough, they tighten on to rail using 3/8 hex nut...good luck in your search..
