mitrrophybowhunter Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 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.

vagobbln Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Hunt Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? 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.

Strut10 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironranger Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turkeyhntr Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? 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...

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.

Rhino Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? [ QUOTE ] I've never felt the need to use a scope while turkey hunting... Normal or corrected-to-normal eyesight does just nicely... [/ QUOTE ] I used to feel the same way too. An older avid turkey hunting friend of mine kept telling me how great they were. Then came the 3 successive seasons where I missed 4 turkeys. I still killed birds but missing at the rate of 1 out of 3 sucked! Each time I missed he'd rag me about putting a scope on my shotgun. After missing a 2nd bird that 3rd year I finally heeded his advice. Only thing different was I selected a holosight rather than a scope. WOW what a difference. Adjust the red dot in the center of the red circle of the holosight right to the center of the pattern. Didn't matter what position your head was in, if you see the red sight on the clear screen...it's on where the pattern will hit. Doesn't matter what position your head is in at all. No fogging up problems with a holosight either. An added bonus I didn't bank on is being able to see the entire turkey when you sight in on them rather than whatever was left above the bead and the barrel. Another added bonus was being able to look through a sight above the barrel instead of having to crouch down lower to aim down the barrel while it was steadied on top of my knee. I've had that sight on my turkey gun now for...hummm 7, 8, or 9 years. Can't remember for sure how long because time flies when you're having fun and not missing.

I've yet to break the thing. Even if it did break..........the B-Square saddlemount the reddot sits on can be looked under and you could still use the gun's bead for sighting.

Gobblegobblebang Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Re: Which Reddot?? I hunt with a mossburg 835 and it is heavy I put a scope on it because a friend suggested it and I like very much. Plus it gives me that added weight I need for a good work out I so desperately need. This gun has been fondly referred to as a tank because it weighs so much and because it shoots like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
