Do any of you guys have your turkey guns scoped off and if so what is your set up? I plan on putting a true glo scope on my 870.

Yes sir! All my "hunting tools" are scoped. I use a Simmons ProDiamond on my turkey barrel. It is fastened to the barrel on a cantilever that attached to the rib. I don't think the rib cantilever is available any more from Remington. Scope is at.. www.tactical-store.com/printable-ts-sm-rs-517789.htmlWhen Mr. Gobbler's head is in that Diamond he is meat in the pan. The only gobbler I have ever missed (so far) was with a crossbow. I shot him for a long 30 and he was a lo-o-o-o-o-n-n-n-n-g-g-g-g 30. He sure did jump though.  |

I don't think the rib cantilever is available any more from Remington. Here you go. Not an official Remington part, but this is what I am talking about in a rib cantilever. www.gallardindustries.com/products/remington-rib-barrel-scope-mount.htmMy 870 does double duty as a turkey and slug gun. My scopes are mounted on the cantilevers and they come off with the barrels. Both my slug barrel and turkey barrel scopes stay zeroed that way. I just swap barrels out for whatever season it is. |

I use an old mossy 500 with a tasco red dot. I have an 1187 and a SX3 that my buddies think I should use but that ol mossy hasn't ever let me down.
Unless I am planning on shooting ducks or doves I always have a scope of some kind.

Go with the pro diamond, best cheap scope you can buy. You can pick them up in the Natchez catalog real cheap and they are deadly on turkey, much more detailed aiming point.

Ive got the Mossberg 535ats tactical turkey, I put a Simmons Black diamond 4x32 on it. I bought the Kicks Gobblin Thunder choke tube and Ive got a pattern thats really tite so the scope really made the gun just that more deadly. Plus its a good tool to build confidence for me, now I know there well be someone say that " scopes get knocked off, its just something else to worry about" Well Im telling you, that for me ,Ill be taking that 50 yard shot if I need too. But I wont have to worry about that until next year, I tagged out opening day. Scope are a Good thing. So good luck
