If you want rock solid dependability, go with a 1-4x Leupold shotgun scope. Plenty of eye relief and they can handle the recoil. After examining a lot of red dots over the years, I came to the conclusion that they just aren't built to handle abuse. And I didn't feel like worrying about batteries anyways. To bad you didn't post this last fall....I had the scope and mount setup for sale! I have since switched to a set of rifle sights off a remington slug gun. I have the iron v in the rear,, and a tru-glo dot up front. I can't explain why, but I like it more than the scope. A lot easier to get on a moving bird I suppose.


But since you aren't drilled and tapped, take a look at the Millet saddle mount. I liked it a lot more than the other ones on the market, and it won't hit your knuckles whenthe gun recoils.
