    Default Which Reddot??

    I am not sure which one to get. This will be for my Mossberg 935. I would like one to match my camo as well.

    Which is the best deal? Do they come to match the 935 camo?

    Anyone have the Redhead reddot?

    I know a lot of questions but you guys are always good with the info.

    I have the Bushnell Trophy Red Dot and I really like it. It's got multiple reticles (I use the circle with the red dot in the middle). Another thing I like is that it's low profile, as far as red dots go. I have found the turkey's dont care much for it though.

    I've got the Bushnell Trophy Red/green multi reticle scope and I love it. I think they just came out with a camo version this year,but guess what the turkeys I shot with it never got to see my scope was black.

    I've got $29 BSA 30mm on my Super X2 and the Mrs.' 870 Turkey. Always figured I'd replace them with a good sight when they broke. Her's is going into its 8th spring and mine its 7th. Never had to re-adjust either one of them...just a new battery each spring as preventative maintainence. I have no complaints about them at all. Maybe someday............when one of them breaks.............I can get a "good" sight.

    I've been using a Bushnelll trophy red dot and really like it. Multiple reticles, 11 brightness settings, taken a few birds with it already and I'm shooting 3.5" shells so it's been durable. For the price (I've seen them for around $75 to $80) and quality, thus far it's been a good scope for me...

    Just bought a Tru-Glo red dot 1X30 at Gander Mtn for $24.99 to put on a new Mossberg 835. Its black on black.
    Tru-Glo makes some great and durable stuff and they stand behind it too. Most likely they should have it in hardwoods.

    I have the BSA and the Red Head 30mm...
    I have had great luck from both...love them and I would stay away from TRUGLO...take them out on a good sunny day and you should see why...I like the 30mm overall also for what that is worth...buy what you like...I think all will hold up as far as quality goes...You will love the RED DOT...

    I've never felt the need to use a scope while turkey hunting... Normal or corrected-to-normal eyesight does just nicely...

    I never did either..............until I tried it.

    I always made fun of the guys with optics on a shotgun. Gave them a terrible hard time. Then my Mrs. started turkey hunting. She had a hard time focusing her eyes on two beads and a turkey's head. So I set her up a reddot on her 870. I did all the initial pattern & sight-in. I couldn't believe how perfectly I could adjust the dot to center the pattern density on the target. No more aiming "a little low" or "a tad left". Put the red on the head and the turkey gets dead. So, the next spring I put one on my new SX2 and it's been there 7 years happily ever after.

    I'm not that anti-optics.... I'm just afraid I'd break the thing off the way I get around out there while chasing toms....
