Default Any red dots holding up to the 500 S&W

I have a buddy that just bought the 500 with the long barrel and he asked me about a red dot, Not sure if any will hold up to the recoil. Anybody have experience?

They are a little pricey, but Doctor Optics makes a red dot that can handle it. There may be others but this is the only one I have experience with. My buddy and I both bought 500 S&W's and he put one on his and so far it's held up to over 100 rounds without a hitch.
