TurkeySlayer2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hey guys, Ive got a Franchi I-12 that I recently tried to put TruGlo fiber optics on and they would not fit over my rib. Yes, I ordered the correct size they simply would not fit. I have decided to add a red dot scope on my gun. Its already drilled and tapped so all I have to do it mount a base and red dot. What is a good(and reasonably priced) red dot scope that will handle the beating of magnum turkey loads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 truglo makes a 2x reddot thats pretty good. Its about 90 dollars or so. I use a burris speed dot on my supernova. Its about 155 to 180. good luck novaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblcluck Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The best Red Dot on the market, bar none is the Aimpoint. Like anything, you get what you pay for. http://www.aimpoint.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flhawghuntr Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Their is many good red dots on the market these days. One thing to look at is the Holo Sight as it has no maginfication so basically it is like looking at the turkey with your eyes. You can look through it with moth eyes opens and aslong as the reticle is on your target once sighted in it is on target. I have a older model that I bought on ebay that I had camo dipped and I will never shoot a turkey gun without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey forgive me if I am not understanding you, but were you trying to mount the sight directly on the vent rib? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
