Bushnell trophy green/red dot.
Only scope in that price range that can handle magnum rounds.

 I have a nikon turkey pro mounted on a see under B square saddle mount were you can still see your bead.  I love this setup on my 870. Also I have the same setup on my 20 gauge but I have a Simmons pro diamond 1.5 -5-32 and I like that scope for the money.

Well, I've reconsidered, and after a LOT of research, it  looks like I'm going to go with a Trijicon RMR, fiber optic, green dot. No batteries to worry about, and Trijicon has a great reputation, and is a solid scope. I cannot take a chance on an "affordable" scope again. The miss, and near miss shook me up really good this season. Considering the lousy season I had this year, that's just a chance I cannot take again.
Yeah, it's expensive, but as a friend told me, "Buy once, cry once. Then you'll have a scope that will last the rest of your life." SOLD!!! :lol:

I have a Burris m-tach , it has a illuminated reticle , and crystal clear optics - these acquire a target so fast it's not funny

they are pricey , but not so much when you account for missed opportunities , the Bushnell I used to have is not as clear but holds dead zero

Try the sightmark out it works great, that's whats on mine and I shoot 3 1/2 long beards and I aint had any problems at all with it. I think I gave $125 for it so the price ain't bad either.

Up and down, full field of view and only 30 dollars.  I
Have one on my gun and wife's gun, they're awesome.

Very nice.  The Trijicon should serve you quite well.  Does that have the dot on it or the triangle like many of their optics?

RutnNStrutn

This one has the green dot, illuminated by either fiber optic, or tritium in low light.

I've got two Bushnell Trophy scopes on my Beretta 12 ga. and 20 ga. Both have given me good service for the last 12 years. Both have the Circle Dot reticle.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

I've been shooting a nikon turkey pro on my BPS 10 for 3 yrs with nitro's never had to adjust it!
