I would look for a Buckmark, a 5.5 field or target. If you like a longer barrel a used varmint or shilouette. They all have a full weaver type mount for optics & open sights, except for the varmint.

Ditto...for turkey shoots approx $450 will get you a NIB Ruger MkII, slab-sided Govt model outfitted with a decent red dot.  Really depends on how much you want to spend and what fits you best.

I shoot a old original model Ruger Std Auto, but if I were to choose a cost is no object pistol for that match it would be a Thompson Contender.  If the T/C wasn't allowed I would stay with the Ruger.

Hmm..."25ft" huh?  That's pretty close.   :?

At that range, put a red dot on your Ruger.
