Red Dot or Scope on Dedicated Turkey Rig???

[Ruger M77]

i had a scope on my 870 last year but after getting smacked in the head on both the birds I shot im gonna try a reddot. Seems like it would be a better choice when shooting up and down hills and avoid the big knot on the fore head and head ache later

If you can swing it, go with the FFIII. It is a rugged, light waterproof sight, that is perfect for turkey rigs. I had all but given up on red dots till I tried this one out on my 835. Now, I will never go back to a scope.
I liked the Burris TAC30 I had on my turkey rig, but it was just too heavy, and now it sits on top of my T/C Impact muzzleloader, which is a much better spot for it.

I shoot a Simmons Pro-Diamond on my 835, my main gun.  Bought a 20 ga 11-87 this off season and going to give the red dot a shot on her.  I hunt a lot of big ag fields so the Simmons has been helpful.  It has a diamond shape is the reticule and when that is filled with the gobblers head then he is in the 40 yard range.  Going to use the 11-87 as a woods gun.
