20 ga has become a real popular deer round in the last 5 or so years. The rifled barrels are zinging those sabot slugs with rifle like accuracy out to 100 yards easily. Some go so far as dialing in for a 200 yard shot but really, by 150 they’re falling off pretty low. I have a single shot Ultraslug in 20 ga that shoots really well at 100 yards. Most everyone I know that has bought a slug gun lately has gotten the Savage 220 in 20ga. Problem can be finding the shells you want. -

My son always bugs me about getting a nice light over-under 20ga for grouse hunting. I say Heck no, I'm getting a 3 1/2" 10ga so I can put as much lead in the air that I can!! So, I'm keeping my 12ga. -

That’s almost exactly what I was thinking. Have slug barrels for both One for turkey and one for deer. I have a 20ga mosseberg as well. (Combo came with the scope but never used. I always liked the 12 better -

Wanderer is right on the money and covered it well. I was wondering too if you had a slug barrel for one of your guns? If so you could make that your slug gun with a scope, and the other your turkey gun with the Red dot. As you can afford it. -

Kinda depends on if you want magnification or quick target acquisition. More magnification options and better accuracy with a scope. You get what you pay for too so get comfortable with a budget for one. Tasco and Bushnell work but I find they lose their zero easier, have low contrast and don’t gather light well in low light conditions. That said, I’m still using one I haven’t replaced yet. Vortex has been the hot brand for the past several years for bang for the buck. Good products. Nothing beats Swarovski though. Huge dough for those. Burris is another decent option. There are some specific models for shotgun/slug hunting in the economy brands and bullet drop compensation (BDC) reticles. Based on experience I’d recommend not falling for that marketing ploy. Red dots are usually lower magnification and easier to get on target. Reasonably accurate but don’t do well with definition, like searching the brush for your target. I put a HAWKE red dot on a .22 for squirrels and it’s been good. For turkey, that’s probably the route I’d go. If your slug shots are normally not too far and too brushy, I’d think a red dot could work there too if you’re only buying 1 scope. You’ll be better off dimming the reticle to the lowest setting you can easily use to not over shine the target and get a finer aim point. If you don’t have a slug barrel, you might appreciate one of those. I had a browning with a smoothbore slug barrel that shot Brenneke 2-3/4 inch well. The 11-87 would well fitted with a cantelever rifled barrel. -

Looking for recommendations on scope or red dot I basically hunt turkey and whitetail, live in southern MN. So it’s all deer/ shotgun looking to add a scope/ red dot as my eyes don’t work like they used to to with the open sights. my gun options are 11/87 12. Browning BPS 12 not looking for the most expensive or the cheapest pros and cons of one over the other -

That's good news. I haven't seen any ice in Black Bay yet, but it looks like the small bays should start to freeze up this weekend. Hopefully we make some ice next week. Below is the forecast for Cook. We should have temps mostly below zero . The bottom section below shows that it should not be windy, and no snow is predicted. All good signs for making ice. -
