Whats a good shotgun scope from this list?

A lot of folks seem to like the 1st Bushnell and it has a lifetime warranty.  Also I have heard good things about the Nikon Prostaff shotgun scope.

I can't get the Midway link to open to look at your list. I have not used it on a turkey shotgun but I have this Bushnell on a slug gun and two muzzle loaders. I think it would work well for turkeys too.

It has a 6" eye relief and a Circle X inside the crosshairs which should make aiming on a turkey easy.

Mine have held up to hard kicking loads and a friend has one on his 870 slug gun also and has had no problems.

I've got two Bushnell 1 3/4x-4x shotgun scopes with the Circle reticle. Both have given me good service.  :icon_thumright: :cowboy:
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Simmons Pro Diamond 4 power scope for me. Put it on last year and so far so good.  :z-guntootsmiley: :z-guntootsmiley:

another vote for the leupold nwtf 1x4.   i had a tasco but after a couple of seasons it had to be resighted in every year.

Leupold if you like traditional scopes, or Aimpoint or Burris if you like a red dot.. :icon_thumright:

something to consider very seriously is eye relief. Especialyy if you are shooting a pump. All the pumps have a reputation for kicking hard with turkey loads. A scope with 3-4 inches is just not enough. I have the 6" ER bushnell banner 1.75-4 and with a stout 3.5" it can still hit you in the head. For the money the bushnell seems to do OK considering the punishing recoil. It is the only scope I could find that had at least 5" ER. The only downside is the FOV is a little small but to be expected with the extended ER.
