Shotgun Scopes: i have a benelli nova that i will be using for turkey, deer, and waterfowl, along with any other small game that should pass. my question is for all you experienced gunhands out there, is it worth it to scope it? a low power scope or reddot? if so what would you recommend. i believe my nova takes a weaver 423m style base, is that better than a saddle mount such as the B-square? any help would be awesome.

I like a scope on my shotgun for big game, I just feel more comfortable and confident shooting deer through a scope. I would never use a scope or red dot for water fowling or any other small game. I have never used a scope or red dot for turkey and see no reason to, but that is just my opinion on the subject. I use a B-square saddle mount on my 870 because i didn't want to have it drilled and tapped for mounts, I see no reason to use a saddle mount if your gun can handle a different mount.

I have a tru glo gobble stoper red dot for for my super nova it works awsome for turkey hunting it cost me $80 plus the B-Square saddle mount but It was worth every penny. It tells you when the turkeys are at 50 and 30 yards and also has a flip of the switch red or green light option plus back up battery built into the scope cap. For water foul I would definitly go open sight and for big game go with a normal scope with slugs and rifled barrel.
