What has everyone got or plan on getting for this years turkey season?
 
I’ve got a new 20ga. Ordered but I don’t know if it will be here for season or not. It’s a Retay Masai Mara turkey XT. Finally a quality shotgun company has made me a 20ga semi with a shorter barrel. I would rather have 18” but 22 is a lot better than 26”.
 
It sure seems like many others are seeing the light and switching to 20ga for turkey.

Maybe the member will chime in who made his own scope mount a few years back...

The saddle mount and the Burris FF3 arrived today.  While it's definitely higher than the rib, the couple snap shots I took today at a tree stump were not as bad as I thought.  Not conclusive results,

Just commenting, you dont need a cantilever rib clamp on with a holographic type site. Same one is used at arms length on a handgun. With no parallax it can sit out over the barrel and still function.

Have you held one with that setup? When I first went to dots that’s what I used for a season and absolutely hated how high it put the dot.

What do you use Buckmaster? I have a Vortex Venom on my Beretta, can't imagine it is much different and I love it....

I would have to measure but I bet it puts the dot at least 3/4” closer to the barrel than a saddle mount setup. I can’t stand having my cheek floating around while looking for a dot. I want to hurry my cheek and have the dot in front of my eye just like you do with a bead.

What do you have now? A rail mounted to the receiver or a saddle mount?

I tend to always have to shoot fast from weird positions do to always running and gunning. If you’ve never done that you’ll likely never notice that you’re having to move your head around to find the dot.

I have this, it isn't a saddle mount. I guess i would say it is a rail mounted to the receiver but it isn't drilled...

No I haven't.  If I don't like the mount, I'll probably get a Burris speed bead mount.

My 1187 isn't drilled and tapped is the reason I went with the saddle mount.  Really didn't want to go the gunsmith route.

That’s the same reason I started with a saddle mount. Getting my old 870 drilled and tapped was the best 30$ I have ever spent for turkey hunting.

I have an aftermarket cantilever on my 11-87.. Fastens to the rib...I've been running a  Leupold 1 x 4  for the last few seasons and I like it..Defintely a lower mount than the saddle mount, ...One disadvantage is that it adds a few ounces to an already heavy gun, but since I do nearly all of my turkey hunting  sitting on a stool in a popup blind it is not a big issue for me..
