I"ve heard that about red-dots, not real good in low light and even a smaller view than with no scope at all. I have a Leopold Gilmore on my turkey gun but never really had the opportunity to try it in low light. I think I will take it out at when it is starting to get dark and see how it looks before I put it on and sight it in. Thanks for the heads up. Ireally like the balance with the short barrel !!!!!
