I had always used a bead until last year.  I put a red dot on my son's gun a few years ago and liked it.  Last year, I put a FF3 on mine and love it.

I wouldn't want rifle sites or a scope because of limiting the ability to make a quick instinctive follow up shot.

I get what you are saying , but you are not limited with a scope. In actuality I have not had to do follow ups in a very very long time thanks to a scope. The turkey scopes even help range your bird if you use it correctly. No downside in a scope or red dot IMHO.

Killed a bunch of birds with A-my 26" 870 12 gauge.  It was dead on with three different chokes for three different loads I used in it.  Just no reason to make it complicated.

Now shoot a ghost ring (B) on my SA450 and so far it has not let me down.

I did shoot a red dot (C) for a couple of years on my Benelli Nova because the POA was a PIA.  I gave that gun away to a guy that lost all his guns in a house fire.  I recommended he sell it and get a different gun if he ever wanted to use it for turkeys.

Next gun will have a Burris Fast Fire or similar.

I may add a sight to my gun but would want something easy to take on/off and re-sight in since I use my gun to shoot skeet often.  Which would you recommend?

I switched to a FFIII last year and really like it!

Had a Bushnell 1.75/4. Removed it this year, trying the Sig Sauer Romeo. It will clip on and off the rail if you're looking for that option.

D for me, I prefer a scope as it keeps me from lifting my head and shooting high. Also, you can adjust your poi to be perfect. Lastly, a scope does not need batteries like a red dot

Thanks for all the feedback guys.  Here's the compiled results so far.  People seem to favor red dot/reflex sights but everything else was pretty much equal.

A. Bead   14
B. Rifle Sights   15
C. Red dot/Reflex   28
D. Scope   14
