Reddot scopes?

RE: Reddot scopes?
I bought one for $50 at cabelas, it was Pine Ridge (Cabelas) brand, the first one broke from the recoil, and the guy told me it was shock proof, he gave me a new one, I would go for a higher quality one.

Hick,
I have used 2 brands Ultradot that I got from EABrown Co and a Leupold/Gilmore.The Ultradots havebeen on my 10 ga NEF and 12 ga guns. The leupold Gilmore was on a Black powder and I have had no probs. with either. I do like the Leupold/Gilmore better, its bigger at 35mm.

While I never tried using one, from all I've ever read about them, the "Aimpoint" line is rated #1. While not cheap, you do get what you pay for with these!! I seen first hand one of those BSA Red Dots fall apart from only 3 shots out of my buddies 11-87 turkey gun. If you want quality, it's going to cost you some money!! Same for scopes.

I will say I have shot almost 40 turkey loads 3 and 3.5" through my Benelli with my Mueller and it has been great. $119 cant beat the price for the features plus if it did fail I can still look under it and use my bead sights.
