tell me about your turkey gun SCOPE?

[Tom007]

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

X10 here. The shotgun recoil demands strong rings for sure. Burris makes some solid tactical rings.

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.

Scopes provide magnification and clarity for those without great vision. For those with astigmatism, red and green dots become distorted and appear as starbursts. I have a holosun with the circle as well but the circle is wayyy too large. It's as large as the entire turkey at 20 yards. How did you deal with this issue? Thanks!

I have an astigmatism and had issues with solid dots, that is why I went with the circle. My circle doesn't appear large at all. They make 2 different reticles, mine is not the ACSS which appears to be a huge circle with a dot in the middle where mine is a small dot with a crosshair looking circle in it. I'm fairly certain mine is 2 MOA which would be 4 inches at 50 yards and all I see on a 6 inch target at 35 yards is the circle around the edge of the aiming spot. Close in, a turkey's neck fills the whole circle. I think you might have the other reticle

I have the 507C Green with the dot, circle dot, or circle reticle options. Sounds like we have the same one??

Mine is the 507C. It is a 32 MOA circle and 2 MOA dot. SO the circle at 20 yards is 6.4 inches. Not very precise. Is yours different? Thank You!!

That sounds about right but for me, it works perfect to put the circle around the neck with the dot still there. When target shooting, the circle is around the main part of the target. Here is an example from when I put it on a few years back, the green circle would encircle the solid center of the target. Works well for me, neck in the circle, dead turkey

OK I was confused. You are using the circle reticle with the dot in the middle, not the plain circle reticle without the dot? Is that correct?

Thank You!!
