Title: Shotgun sights for turkey
Post by: KySongDog on April 11, 2007, 09:44:51 AM
Does anyone here use an adjustable sight for their turkey gun?  If so, what brand would you recommend.

I switched turkey chokes and really like the pattern I got except now its a little low and to the right.  Was thinking an adjustable sight might help.

Thanks

I think those reddot halogram sites are the best. Never shot through one but handled a few shotguns with em one. Those things are nice.

My dad uses a red dot on his browning. He absolutely loves it and uses it in all situations from skeet to deer with great success. His is mounted on the receiver so he can swap out barrels. I'll have to ask him if he adjusts impact point for different barrels/loads.

I only got started hunting turkeys last year and don't have sights on that barrel.  I did stick on a Hi-Vis bead on the rib and that seemed to work pretty good.  I have used a couple of shotguns that had the halogram sight and I think I could get used to that REAL quick.

I once had a Winchester Auto I put fiber optic sights on.    The rear sight was adjustable, and the contrasting colors worked very well (if you want to stay with open sights instead of a red dot or halogram sight).    Seems like the set was only around $15 and was made by Thompson Center for their muzzleloaders.

Thanks for the replies, guys.  (hey, that rhymes   :biggrin: )

I found a Truglo sight I might try.  Although, the thought of patterning my 3 1/2 12ga again is not something I look forward to. 

Or I guess I could just use some good 'ol Kaintuckee windage.   :wink:
