I first mounted A red dot to my shotgun 10 years ago roughly. I bought a cheap one that cost around 40 bucks. I was on another forum discussing the possibility around that time and got nothing but negative feedback about it. People telling me it wouldn’t work and such. The conversation was downright hostile and I wound up leaving the forum over it along with a couple of other threads. The atmosphere here is much better.
I’m happy to see now that optics on a shotgun have become a pretty common thing. You can read articles about it from noteworthy sources. My cheap Red dot held it zero pretty well even with high brass loads. I’d usually check the zero before or after a hunt just to be safe but I rarely had to adjust it. I do that with my scopes for deer hunting as well since They can move depending on how they are handled.
All that being said I’m in the market for a red dot that’s a little higher quality now and I need recommendations. I got a little more money going at this point in life. I like to be able to see everything in front of me. If I’m tracking a squirrel or rabbit or something it’s gonna be moving half the time or more.
I remember EO Tech being the top of the line brand back then supposedly. I couldn’t really afford one so I didn’t buy it. Come to find out they aren’t that good. They had a military contract which was their selling point and if you asked the military guys they say they just didn’t perform.
