I have 3 Nikon Pro Staff 2x7x32 shotgun scopes, one on my 1187 and the other two are on my muzzleloaders. Then I have a Bushnell 1.5x4x32 on another slug gun. I've thought about a red dot but have read other posts about them not being so good in low light. Something about the dot having a tail or something. I'll stick to my scopes.
