Well MD's season ended Saturday and my Savage 301  .410 came in yesterday so got all year to get it sighted in.   First need to outfit with a red dot, glasses with readers won't allow for open sights anymore.     I have a TRUGLO 30 mm red dot 5 moa to try out but looks a little big on that tiny gun, we'll see.     What's everyone been using for red dots on this critter?

I have a Vortex Venom on mine.  Sumtoy sells a mount that you can eliminate that big high rail that came with it.   Lowers the sight quite a bit and gives it a good clean look.  I also put an Indian Creek 390 choke in it.   I enjoyed carrying mine this year.  Felt like I was going turkey hunting with a fishing rod for a while.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

I have a Bushnell TRS-25.  I have had one on my 12 gauge shooting 3.5" shell for the last few years with no problems.

Same. Killed 3 birds this year. Still gotta go back to top of a hill to get lense caps where I left it 3 weeks ago. Big hill. Talking myself into it

Killed a hog with it this turkey season.  Killed at 20-25 yards with Foxtrot 9 1/2's TSS ammo.

That looks sharp! I like it. And that mount setup looks a ton better than what comes on them.
