tell me about your turkey gun SCOPE?

[gmbellew]

I love my leupold turkey plex 1-4x. I picked up a spare leupold shotgun scope 1-4x in heavy duplex just in case I ever set up another gun. hard to find a good shotgun scope these days. but I love using one.  normally I keep it on 1x, but will use 4x if a bird is coming in and I want the extra magnification. the turkey plex is also great for a quick range estimate to be sure the yardage is less than 50yds if you crank it to 4x.

I have a few on guns they are either Nikon turkey pro's or Leopold 2-7x32mm turkey scopes. Out of those I prefer the Leopold's. But both are great scopes and both hunt equally well. Both have range finding reticle.

Simmons pro diamond for me and have bought an extra for backup - I love mine and wouldn't change anything- my older eyes were having trouble lining up beads and heads - a lot of folks complain about weight- take something out of your vest you haven't used in last 3 years it will even out !!

I have the Simmons Pro Diamond been on my Winchester1300 for at least 25yrs + has,nt let me down yet. Amazed its held its gas seal this long.

I have the Hawk and I put a Leupold 1.5-4  on my Dad's gun.  The Hawk wins in every point except optical quality. 

   had me on the hawk untill that statement.  Hard to give in to optical quality .

Now the hawk ain't bad. But just understand the Leupold has it beat

My eyes too have gotten worse the last few years due to old age & cataracts on both my eyes. I had the Hawk but I returned it. It was not bad though. I just put a Konus Pro M-30 1-4X24 on my 870 about a month ago to try next season. I've been really impressed with the optical quality of it, especially for the price. The only negative I could say about it is that it is heavier than I would like for it to be. I would strongly recommend you check it out. I think you would really like it. If not I would go for the Leupold. Just my opinion.

The optics on the Hawke are very clear, the eye piece focus adjust cleared mine up perfectly. The think that I like most about it is the lighted cross hair stays crystal clear, no star-burst like some of my red dots. I do have Leopoldo's, Bushnell, Nikon Monarchs, this Hawke for Turkey hunting is the best one I've ever used. This is just my experience. Hawke listened to Turkey hunters needs for sure, keeping the quality up and the price affordable.

I like my Red and Green dot Holosun optics but when looking at scopes for my turkey setup  2 or 3 years ago I just never found anything I liked.
Ultimately I ended up mounting a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 x 24. Great scope, and outstanding company to work with if you ever have a problem.

I have a Holosun 501C Green on my Retay Turkey 20 gauge and love it. I've got a Vortex Defender on my "liberal state" pump Winchester SXP 20 gauge. But after all this talk, I'm leaning to trying out a Hawke on that liberal state gun. The issue with my 12 GA SBE 3 and the leopold is the scar on me and my friends forehead from patterning it in with TSS. But I do love a scope and the Hawke seems good. I love Leopold but the issue is buying one, then spending another $200 or so getting it dipped because I'm gonna have to have it camo. Looks like the Hawke would be better than the red dot I have. So now I have decisions to make lol

[Greg Massey]

One thing I will add about using a scope, is buy yourself good quality scope mounts at least 2 screws to each side of the mount ... IMO

I love the Simmons Pro Diamond. wish they still made them

Has it beàt in optical quality? Which leupold  reticle do you have? Finding a good turkey scope I find limited options. Thanks

[Gooserbat]

I think it's the pig plex

[Sixes]

I've never used a scope on a shotgun, what is the advantage over a red/green dot?  I've ran Fastfires and now a Holosun with a green circle and cannot see myself ever changing anything, but just curious as to the differences with a actual scope. I love the circle in the Holosun and it's proved to be deadly.
