Need some advice on Red Dots

[Boo]

Hey guys, I am considering putting on a Red Dot onto my shotgun for turkey. Does anyone have opinions on which one is the brightest? I don't want to go for a large diameter and I want it low profile. Any ideas?

Don; Check out the Tru Glo line of Red Dots. Several to choose from and high quality. Not cheap , but I know your taste. Ive ordered 2 of the new 2009 Tru Glo crossbow scopes with velocity adjustment. Should be in this coming week. Again not cheap.

Did you order them or did Gagnons?

Mr. Boo ; my son has one of the low priced ones from BassPro because he is "cheap."
He's totally happy with it , works great.

Tried several red-dot sights over the years (lower priced - under $100.) and never found one that I really fell in love with. But the one that has stayed in the "junk box" and keeps getting mounted on guns/bows is a BSA 3/8 dovetail (.22) model. Right now it's on a Crossman 2250 pistol? (rifle I replaced the stock with pistol grips on). Most red-dot sights I've tried had parallax, and the dots weren't clear (either a dim dot on low, or a bright blob on high). The BSA isn't great, but it's a lot better than others I've tried.

I was out fishing at a pond the other evening and someone had left a styrofoam cup laying on the far bank (about 20 yards away). I shot at it several times, and was hitting it every shot, so the sight was doing it's part!

(BTW) Ordered a "boss" air valve for the pistol to gain some power/velocity. It's supposed to increase velocity about 125fps with that barrel length, and should turn it into something I can reliably hunt squirrels with.

The one Roly is talking about is the same one Wabi posted. I use it too and I am very happy with it.

i have used aim points in the past with decent luck but they aren't very low profile. i like the holosight boo it works great i don't think you could go wrong with it

Mike, I tried to put a Holo on the shotgun and I find it too high. I don't want to build up the comb.

You may be able to use the Burris Speed Bead, depending on what gun you have. Fits between stock and receiver so height isn't an issue. Very small and bright.
Give it a look see Don. http://www.burrisoptics.com/speedbead.html
