I use a 6.5x55 swede to do my huning in heavy woods. Great small rifle with a peep. However, my eyes are getting old and I' ve been thinking of putting a red dot scope on it.

Most red dots say they' re great for shotguns or handguns, but don' t mention rifles.

What am I missing? Are they too weak for recoil, or is a ballistics problem.

Any help?
