scope or red dot?
Re: scope or red dot?
It’s rare but on occasion I wish you could “dial” it up a bit. Is that what I think it is ???? Overall I hunt hardwoods, cedars and pines, some quite thick. When I started purchasing them they were in the mid 6s now mid to low 4s. Both eyes open "dot it" "send it". No finer red dot on the market.

Re: scope or red dot?
I have never had to hunt with mine on max. The only knock on a red dot is a very bright day, looking into the sun. Other than that, they rock. For early mornings or late evenings, there is nothing better. Mid day, you just crank up the intensity.Frank G wrote:It’s rare but on occasion I wish you could “dial” it up a bit.

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?

Like that line GLS, mind if I use it?GLS wrote:Where the dot lies, the shot flies. Most of the time. Sometimes the dot must not be on the head when the trigger is pulled.

Scope. I own a turkey pro and a FF3 and I trust the scope because I've used one for over 10 years and its never failed me and I hunt with it everyday for a month and a half each season. I really like the FF3 but I trust my scope

I'm going with a FFIII this time. I tend to get "scope eye" on hard kickers.
Re: scope or red dot?
One other thing you can do with a red dot, is to slip in a modified choke in your turkey barrel and use 2 3/4 inch shells to hunt pheasant, squirrel, dove, quail, or rabbits. Using both eyes open acquiring a target is fast and accurate. The only scope I know of that can come close to this is a nikon monarch 1 x 4x on 1x, but I prefer the red dot for that kind of work.
