VTbowman Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Does anyone use a 30mm Red Dot scope (no magnification) on there shot guns when hunting upland birds, ducks, or any sort of wing shooting? I put a Red Dot on my Remington 870 last spring for hunting turkeys and I really though it made the difference in taking 2 jakes at over 30 yards each. However I always shot clays with a open bead sight. I hate to remove the Red Dot since its sighted in and dead nuts for turkey hunting, just to bang around after grouse or whatever. Oh BTW I realize I will have to remove the full choke for this too which is not a concern. No biggy there. LOL I have not even tried one clay yet, just sitting here at work wondering if I should or not. Thanks for your opinions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Re: Red Dot scopes and Upland bird hutning? If you shoot the proper way, 2 eyed, you could use it. It will take a while to get used to using it while wingshooting. Take it to the range and start with trap shooting. Shoot 3 or 4 boxes of ammo with the red dot and see how it works for you. If that works well, move to skeet and see how it is for crossing birds. Just using a hand thrower or Tirus trap in the back yard is minimal help at best.

JimPic Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Re: Red Dot scopes and Upland bird hutning? I use a red-dot during turkey season but take it off when the seasons over.Mine is mounted on a B-Square saddle mount and hasn't lost its zero once when taking it off or putting it back on.
