Turkey gun sights

What did everyone use for sights on their turkey gun this year?
I'd be curious to hear how your sights worked (or didn't)...

Jack,

I just used the bead at the end of the rib on my barrel. The bad part is, I may have to break down and put some more money into a better sighting system as the patterns are centered to the left and slightly low of POA (this just about cost me a nice turkey a few weeks back).

Jack,

I use the red dot type. I've been known somewhat as a tinkerer and have used all of the mentioned sights at one time or another and must say that each have pro and cons. I came back to the red dot and it works for me and my style of hunting.

Give me a red dot the size of a beer can and make it a 2 or 3 power optical power scope and i would even be happier.

2.5x Leupold "Turkey Ranger" scope. I was going to put one of my Leupold Red Dots on the gun but I just don't trust myself to turn that thing off so I don't drain the battery down (I have priors! ). I could just see it burning out 10 minutes before shoot time.
