Wanting to try a red dot.

[gobblinfever]

I'm wanting to try a red dot sight but don't think I would like the scope type sights. Any suggestions?

Check out Burris ff3 or the vortex venom

Yep, I jwright told you a couple good ones.

I don't like looking through a tube myself for short range shooting.
I had a diamond scope for a long time and it was OK
I tried a red dot scope a few times and it was OK
I tried a cheap reflex that wouldn't hold zero.
I finally got a Burris Fastfire and it has been perfect. I use the Speedbead mount. Very fast acquisition, shoot with both eyes open, don't have to have your head buried on the stock ( if the dot is on the target pull the trigger), and no tunnel vision from looking down a tube.

I see china has some Burris, Vortex, Doctor knockoffs now for a fraction of the price. That is a good way to find out if it's for you.

Thanks guys. I'll check them out.

I have both scopes and red dots, i will take my scope and day with the built in range finder and i can detect and see better movement thru the scope in taller grass and thicker woods...

Vortex Venom I love mine

I thought about putting a FF3 or vortex on a hand gun, TC Contender chambered in 7/30 waters, has anyone tried one on this type, I have a pistol scope on it now but in low light conditions it's impossible to see through.

I'm partial to the tube type red dots.  Just seem sturdier to me than the Fast Fire style sights.

I shoot EVERYTHING both eyes open.  So there's no issues there for me, personally.

I had a terrible time w the fastfire 3 and I like Burris. It was not great if you ask me. I'd spend a little more and get something better or perhaps try that Vortex. Guys seem to like it.
Remember soon as you add sights no matter what the type you're prob gonna lose some cheek weld on the stock. There are cheap comb raising kits that work ok.

Like my FF3.

SpeedBead with a FastFire II for me.  I haven't missed a turkey since I added it to my turkey gun.

Never had a scope on a turkey Gun, those go on my rifle and ff3s on my turkey guns I have 4 of them.

Never had one. Have a 12 BPS and a 20 870 youth that I'd love to add one to eventually. Williams Firesights have treated me pretty darn well for a while now but in the heat of the moment the "fuller" fiber optics on them will blend together sometimes especially at range. Trying to aim at the waddles turn into the whole bird practically being covered up at 30+ yards.
