[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 2199225, member: 17889"] I run an EoTech 512 Holographic Weapons Sight in Mossy Oak finish to match my Mossberg 835 Turkey Tactical. 20" 3-1/2" M4 style collapsing stock/pistol grip/ambi tang safety......just in case those turkeys attempt to over run my position..... :) :) :) For turkeys, this allows one to sight accurately out to shotgun maximum range, and still have great peripheral vision for sneaky secondary birds approaching from the side. 512 has handled the big magnum rounds for 10+ years without any problems....better than my aging shoulders.....I shoot left and right....depending upon direction of approaching birds.
