Quote from: RutnNStrutn on April 23, 2015, 05:27:30 PMThose of you that have followed my posts know that I am a scope man. For nearly 20 years I had an old pistol scope mounted on the vent rib of my turkey barrel. But at the range before the season, while sighting in Longbeards, the old scope gave up the ghost. I got a Truglo green dot to replace it, and sighted it in and went hunting.While I was on a hunt in NC, I called in a nice gobbler off of the roost, and proceeded to shoot a tree. I thought it was me, kicked myself in the butt and moved on. Later that day, I called in another beautiful gobbler. He strutted in to 20 yards, I fired, and I missed, AGAIN!!! Not realizing it wasn't me, I jacked another round, shot and hit his body. He ran, tripped over a log and when he got back up I fired again, hit his body, again. I recovered my gobbler. There were no hits in his head or neck, and the shot impacted low and to the right. Apparently that Truglo hunk of garbage didn't hold it's zero. I hadn't bumped it or dropped it, and in my travels it was in a hard sided gun case. Anyway, I am now in search of a good quality scope. I like scopes, so please don't comment that I should just go with the bead, or rifle sights. Several people have recommended Burris Fast Fires or EOTechs. Problem is, I have a red/green color deficiency, and red does not stand out to me. So a red dot will not work, whereas a green dot works perfectly for me. The Fast Fires and EOTechs only come in red dots, so they are both out of the question. So I'm looking for a quality green dot scope, or a pistol scope that will hold up to the recoil of a 3-1/2" Longbeard. Any suggestions? Thanks y'all!!
