Looking For a Cheap Red Dot Sight...

[outrider58]

This will go on my new 410 turkey shotgun.

Requisites:

Needs to be cheap(between $50 and $80)

Single dot is all I'm looking for

Non magnified

Large ocular with a narrow frame surrounding it

Low Weaver or Picatinny mounting(it is a shotgun after all)

If it is a tubular sight, I'd prefer 30mm or larger

Am I being too picky? More than likely, yes. The problem is, there's just too many options out there. I need help deciding.

I have this one on a PCC. Works great for me, but I don't know how it would hold up on a shotgun.

Amazon product ASIN B01M15X4H2

https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-microdot-with-removable-base-gen-2 save12 coupon puts it a little bit over budget, but it's a popular red dot. Only other red dot is the romeo5 which is well worth the money

Thanks. I was looking at those. The shotgun is a 410. I'm new to this gun. It should have a more mild recoil than my old 12ga shotgun.

Maybe Primary Arms? I've been happy with the handful of red dots I have from them

Sub-30mm tube, but not a bad cheap red dot. I have one and have had it on 12ga shottys with no issue.

The new at3 alpha is affordable and has shake awake technology. I wouldn't buy an optic without it.

You used to be able to find the Sig Romeo5’s for around $90. Shame that’s not the case anymore.

I’d look for a second hand Romeo5 or a Crossfire II

I have a couple TRS 25's that I have been happy with, but they are 20mm. The AR version is spec'd at 25mm and it's about $100

The AT3 seems to be the same ratings and specs seem to be closer to your wish list @ $75 and 25mm.

John from Md generously offer his Bushnell TRS 25 to me. And the price was right - FREE!

Thanks everyone, for your input.

This is my choice as well.
