So I made another post about my gun all of a sudden patterning low. The solution I came up with in my head was use a scope to adjust my point of aim to the center of the pattern.
Does anyone have any reccomendations for an affordable turkey gun red dot? I was looking at the Bushnell trophy trs25 in camo or the truglo gobble stopper. I don't need a magnified optic, I'm still young my eyes are still fairly good..
Also if it allows me to get a good cheek well then that's a big plus!
I have a Truglo reflex sight that came with the gun but I'm not a fan, I want something that is sealed

I have the gobble stopper. Killed one bird with it so far. Only had it a year but no complaints yet. I got it cheap is the only reason. I originally wanted the vortex red dot

I have the truglo. Used it for two years with 3.5" loads and it still works fine. The circle/dot may look a little crazy when viewed indoors. Check it outside though and it will be pretty clear.

Just finished my second year with a Vortex Venom. No complaints at all.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

I've used the Bushnell TRS 25 for several years without any problems and have taken probably 10-12 gobblers with it on my Remington 12 gauge 870 shooting 3" shells. It has 11 brightness settings and while the lowest may be adequate for the very early morning, it will be necessary to crank it up to 5-6 or more as the sun comes up. I have a low power scope on my 870 20 gauge, but prefer the simplicity of the illuminated dot over the crosshairs.

I guess I am in the minority. I had a red dot on my SBE once, changed it out for a simmons fixed power crosshair scope. Just never liked the dot. U have to remember to turn it on, turn it off or ur battery is dead. Make sure u turn it up enough if u are out in bright sun or looking into the sun. That was my final straw had a gobbler in crp grass at 20 yds looking into setting sun and couldn't see my dot at all!! To each their own but I wouldn't take anything for an old fashioned crosshair scope.

I have a Burris FFIII on one gun and a Vortex Sparc II on another. Both are great.

I've traded in my Red Dot for a Simmons Prodiamond 4x32 scope
I don't plan on switching anytime soon. I like it a lot

Weaver Kaspa 1x4x24 (30mm tube) has a ( vertical turkey plex). If you go with a red dot , lots of people like the fast fire 3. Vortex is a good choice.

Burris FastFire no question. They have proven themselves to be durable, accurate and deadly sights.
