Best reasonably priced red dot for a S1 shotgun?

[sauer404]

I need the help of the collective! I am after a reasonably priced red dot for my S1 1301. I cannot justify spending Aimpoint money, although they do make great optics. Any suggestions for something reasonably priced that will work well on a shotgun and will not cost the earth?

Many thanks!

I have a 1x40mm in Classifieds at the moment if you want something cheap to try before the inevitable upgrade to an Aimpoint!

Vortex crossfire.
Got one on my 9.3x62 at around £150. Does the job.

I know several club members that’s use Vortex red dots on S1 shotguns for practical shotgun comps etc - they seem to do the job and have a good warranty service if needed.

Buy from a good retailer - optics warehouse Etc

Burris Fast fire. You can get mounts for most shotguns that go between the action and the stock. Makes for a really slick mount

SHIELD SIGHTS – Advanced Red Dots I've used these on a few different guns. The original pistol one is under £200 and they make these sights for various other brands. If it can withstand the recoil on the top slide of a pistol it'll be good for most things.

I had one of these on my semi auto before I sold it if it’s of any interest to you. Works well even in low light but not sure what you want to use it for

Sold: - 1x40 4MOA red dot sight price reduced to £20

It’s a generic red dot, looks to be identical to the Nikko Sterling ones (except for the badge!). I bought it to see if red dots worked for me, mounted it on a .308 Tikka T3, and it has gone well: good eye relief, and holds zero (certainly to within 1 minute of boar) to 100m. Only selling now...
