Shotgun scope for turkeys... Opinions?

[MtnMuley]

Anybody have any suggestions for a holo sight at a reasonable price?  I can't find any of the Lexmarks.  Eotech is out of the budget for me with this application.  Thanks in advance.

This my shotgun with the Mueller on a Picatinny Rail  if that helps. The only issue is you should use Loctite on the rail mounting screws once it is sighted in. Never had it give me any problems and yes I do carry a spare battery as one cap screw loosened up and it is replaced.

Thanks mossy. I don't mind using medium loctite if i have to. Can you give a price of that sight? Thanks.

I have a Red Dot on my gun. But I have been thinking about a low power scope for one reason. Seeing that beard. MY eyes are getting old and a little magnification could really be nice.

Take a look here looks like around $125.

Have you used it in the rain?  My friend has a site like that but not camo. We were sighting it in during a light sprinkle and water got in front of the laser and distorted the sight window enough that his groups went way off. At one point he saw 2 dots so we noticed what the trouble was

I goofed earlier, so here's a link to the Sightmark sight (not Lexmark) ... it costs about $45 and you get a Weaver mounting rail for about $ 5.  I also get a couple extra batteries, just in case ... good luck.

Yes rain and snow no issues so far.

[MtnMuley]

They're legal, and I won't be hunting within 2 counties from you until one of us gets struck by lightning.

I put a 2 MOA red dot on my turkey shotgun two years ago and will never go back.  It has allowed me to fine tune the placement of my shot pattern beyond what open sights can do.  I can shoot it both eyes open to maintain a better sight picture.  I'm pretty particular about my turkey shotgun requirements and ended up customizing my own set up based upon a Remington 870 tactical.  Turkeys and burglars are in big trouble.

I use an Aimpoint on my trusty 870 turkey gun because the dense part of that tern doesn't line up with th bead enough to kill a turkey reliably
