Reflex or red dot sights are a great choice for your favorite turkey gun for many reasons, and the list of high-class options has never been better.
Burris FastFire Series. Every turkey shotgun can benefit from the ultra-durable, weatherproof Burris FastFire series that puts a bright red dot on your target to give you a serious speed and accuracy advantage. With bead or fiber optic shotgun sights, you need to get a solid cheek weld and look down the barrel for precise sight alignment. That’s not the case with reflex (red dot) sights: They’re parallax free, so as long as you can see the aiming point on a turkey’s vitals you can make the shot. The FastFire 2 ($251, top photo with turkey) has a 4 MOA red dot with automatic illumination. The FastFire 3 ($299, shown above) has the option of a 3 or 8 MOA dot, with automatic or manual illumination settings.
Nikon P-Tactical SPUR Reflex Sight. Turkey hunters, it’s time to smile. For 2018 Nikon is offering its world-renowned optics for the first time in a reflex sight. The SPUR offers a 3 MOA red dot, long battery life and an extensive list of features that make it an ideal optic for virtually any

firearm platform where fast, reliable, intuitive sighting is desired. Engineered with fully multicoated lenses and Nikon’s “TruColor” coating that virtually eliminates the bluish tint common to reflex sights, the P-Tactical SPUR ($220) provides a clear, natural view for both-eyes-open sighting. The SPUR’s 3 MOA dot is adjustable with 10 levels of brightness—and is centered within a 27mmx16mm sighting window for an extra-wide field of view with unlimited-and-non-critical eye relief.
Bushnell AR Optics Red Dot Scopes. Bushnell’s best-selling family of scopes, AR Optics, has taken red dots to the next level. The new TRS-26 goes beyond its historic predecessor with longer battery life, a brighter, crisper dot AND push-button operation in the same compact package. The

First Strike 2.0 is two times the red dot its older brother was; it also features longer battery life, a brighter dot and tool-less side compartment battery removal. You’ll also find waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction that ensures reliable performance, no matter the weather.
Leupold DeltaPoint Pro. Is your optic faster than your reactions? That was the design goal of the DeltaPoint Pro ($520) which features a lightweight aluminum housing shrouded by spring steel for ultimate durability, while the aspheric lens generates a wide field-of-view with some of the best image quality ever seen in a reflex sight. Leupold’s patented Motion Sensor Technology discerns any movement of the sight and automatically activates the illumination, which is inset into a light tunnel to reduce the light signature. The tool-less, spring-actuated battery compartment makes changing the battery quick and easy while being impervious to water at a depth of 33 feet. The 1 MOA elevation and windage adjustments eliminate the need for adjustment lock screws.
SIG SAUER ROMEO6 Red Dot. Turkeys take cover. The ROMEO6 is a full-sized red-dot sight ideally suited for today’s finest turkey shotguns, as well as MSR and AR platforms. Two different models in the family include the ROMEO6T ($720) and ROMEO6H ($540). Both are offered with Ballistic “Circle-Dot” and “Circle-Plex” quad reticles, and each boasts a vibrant and crystal-clear visual for those up-close situations when you need to find your target easily and quickly for rapid engagement. The ROMEO6T features a solar panel with two super capacitors that provide up to 9 hours of battery-free life with a battery backup for those long days in the field or at the range. This model features a 7075 aluminum housing for a lifetime of reliable service.
Aimpoint Micro S-1. Designed specifically for use on shotguns with a ventilated rib, the Micro S-1 greatly enhances hit percentage for waterfowl and upland bird hunters, on the sporting clays course, and provides a compact, low-profile optic for turkey and deer shotgun hunters. The innovative carbon fiber reinforced mounting system positions the Micro S-1 on the lowest possible optical axis without adding unnecessary weight. The optic may be attached directly at any point along the ventilated rib, and currently includes interchangeable adapter plates to fit most Browning, Beretta, and Benelli shotguns. The big, bright 6 MOA red dot provides an optimal combination of target acquisition speed and visibility.
Styrka S3 Red Dot. The local turkeys might not stand a chance with an S3 Red Dot ($330) on your shotgun this spring. Designed to eliminate parallax, there is always a clear image of your target, and
