I had a single dot cheap Simmons red dot on my old Super Mag for several years. It was great, and I had good luck with it. You will first dislike it the first time you get into your stand and realize the last time you hunted you forgot to turn it off and you have no spares! That is a total bummer. Pin and peep is ok, but I lost the biggest buck I have ever had in range, ten yards taboot, because of a pip and peep. Was still plenty of legal time left, but overcast and was to dark to see deer in the peep, never used one since! Then I bought anew CB, the Horton Supermax and it came with a Horton Multi Range, and I was not pleased with it. Never a quality issue with it, but the pre set lines where not right on at thirty and forty.The next year I bought a Varizone and put on it and it was night and day. On my Vortex I have the Lumizone and it is a great CB scope, lets plentyof light in, but I never used the Lighted reticles on it, did not need to. Most red dots are only1X on the magnification, check into it before you by if that is something you want or need.
