Title: Illuminated shotgun set ups? Suggestions please!
Post by: predator77 on July 17, 2012, 06:06:53 PM: What's a good illuminated shotgun scope/holographic site (affordable and shock proof). I want to add some confidence when I get animals to come in at night.

Post by: zekedogg on July 17, 2012, 11:44:09 PM: I'm anxious to see some input here. I am also looking for a scope for my shotty. I'm looking at the red/green dots but not sure of which I want.

Post by: Shovelheadave on October 15, 2013, 06:03:27 AM: I wasn't sure about using a RedDot with a red Kill Light but, I love it.

I've been using a Pro Point Plus on my 835 Ultramag for the last year. I thought I'd broken it a few weeks ago from recoil (knocked the front lens loose) but, I guess not, it seems to work fine still.

I bought a Fastfire II to replace it but, so long as it's still working, I'm going to keep it on there.

Post by: predator77 on October 16, 2013, 02:34:05 PM: This is officially my set up. After thinking long and hard about it. I invested the money into this "used" EOHTECH. I couldn't find or understand what was enough of a shockproof rating for a 12ga 3" mag. I figured if it's good enough for the military, it would work for me.
