Red Dots?

How many of you have a Red Dot of some sort on your turkey gun?

I'm thinking about going back to one. Couple springs ago put a TruGlo 30mm on my 20 ga., loved it, patterned well, shot alot better with it than open sights IMO. Well one spring missed a huge gobbler. I got home to check the gun, the scope was way off, couldn't get it centered with the pattern, look at it and one of the optical glass circles ' something or other' inside was dislodged and sitting crooked. I have yet to email TruGlo. Going to try and see if they'll fix or replace it. This happened the 3rd spring I was hunting with it.

Was looking and saw TruGlo also has a Red Dot Gobbler Stopper 30 mmg dual color scope, and also a dual color open red dot sight...anyone try any of these?

i've shot a TruGlo Red dot scope on somebody else's gun superbowl weekend. then on my Benelli Supernova I have the Burris Speedbead. I like my speedbead better. it functions the same as a red dot. it auto adjusts brightness. it's weather resistant. most importantly, if it fails you can still see your stock bead. also, there's not as much clutter (tube, knobs, etc.) around your sight picture with the speedbead. I got mine for $250 so it's pretty affordable.

I have been shooting a BSA 30 mm red-dot on my SX2 for 7 or 8 years now. The thing cost me $19.99 and has been incredible. I know I'm playing with fire and some day will replace it with a "real" red dot. Would probably go with the Burris 135 or 135 Tactical. I've seen the Burris Speed Bead and don't care for it. But that's just me. It's probably a fine sight.
