Best scope for turkey hunting

In your opinion what's the best scope on the market for turkey hunting. I have a Bushnell TRS 25 on my Browning Maxus. I like it but I hate the scope mount from Browning that I have on there. I wish I could find a picatinny rail for my gun so I could mount the TRS further back. I've tried finding a better option but it seems all the scope manufacturers have moved away from a diamond reticle for turkey hunting.

I have 2 dedicated turkey guns and have put Bushnell Trophy 1.75-4X 32mm Circle-X Reticle Shotgun Scopes on my both my  Rem. 11-87's and been hunting with them for better than 20 years, never an issue! I use Warne rings and put a Cantilever bbl on my gun, and have the other 11-87 SPST I put a Rib Mount Cantilever and no problems there either.

I call it "The Circle of Death"

That's how my scope is mounted on. I found a weaver I thought about giving a try it's this one.

I am a Bushnell with circle plex fan and have had a handful of them with different magnifications.I may try a Simmons 4x32 on a new gun this year.

I have a Ole School Simmons Pro Diamond. Just picked up a TruGlo Diamond it is a smaller diamond. The rings are junk. One stripped and I missed two birds same day last year. I went out and purchased steel rings.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply's.  I really like the look of Truglo tru brite 30 hunter just wonder if it'll take the shock of a 12 gauge

The Simmons ProDiamond was ahead of its time, especially the 2x version. If you can find one, scarf it up. It's the finest turkey scope ever made.

Not sure if it's exactly what you might be looking for, but I've had good success with a Vortex Strikefire using a weaver scope mount off amazon.

Sounds like everyone is on board with Simmons. Has anyone tried this scope.

I used the 4x32 but that should be good.

Wish they had them out when I built my guns, My buddy has the (3) Nikons on his & the kids guns.
