Best reticle for a turkey scope?

What do you guys consider the best reticle for a turkey scope? I'm intrigued by the idea of getting a Leupold 1x20 and getting a dot put in as the reticle.  All of my red dots have a dot and I've grown fond of them. I don't think standard cross hairs would cut it in the turkey woods for me.

my favorite is a red dot with a small dot 3 or 4 moa. I had a tru glo gobble stopper and it was ok, I believe it was a 3 moa with the circle around it. I also about 10 years ago I tried a simmons pro diamond I didn't care for it very much either. I would rather shoot a bead than those . I like the burris ff2 and 3  and I like the weaver micro dot I am trying now. I might get a Mueller quick shot in the near future to try out.

Really like the 4 moa dot on my ff2.  Not sure if I would like anything bigger.

i bought a bushnell trophy xlt 1.75 x 4 x 32, for my wifes 870 youth and my 1187 sportsman... it has the crosshair with a small circle
reticle, smaller than the diamond in the pro diamond scope...it crisp and very clear in all shades of light.. sightd in with the top of circle on the turkey head on target, not the neck and shoot... pattern is alittle top heavy but i and her like it... she killd two birds this past spring out to 22 paces and i killd two birds out to 26paces... could be somethin for you to look into... good luck in your decision, russ and dee

With a red dot type I like a circle with a dot and with a regular tube type scope I like the older Nikon Monarch turkey-pro reticle.

I have a Leupold 1X4 with their Turkey Recticle.  I really like it and it works for me & my T/C Encore.

I have a Mueller red dot sight and I really prefer the 3 MOA over the other reticles. I can crank the illumination on it up and still see the turkey's head. The 5 MOA dot covers the gobbler's head up and I can't follow him if I can't see him.

I have "Leupold Dot" reticles on all my scopes except my newer big game rifles which have B&C reticles.  I absolutely love Leupold dot reticles.
I bought a 1x5 Leupold Illuminated Circle dot 3 years ago for my main Long range Turkey gun and absolutely love it.
Leupold created the "Turkey Plex" for a reason. I would trust them!
Good Luck!!
