I have a Tru-glo Gobble Stopper. I've had it for 3 years now and can say I really like it a lot. The detachable extension for sunny days on field hunts is really nice.

x2 on the Simmons Pro Diamond. I have a fixed 4x scope on my 870 supermag and love it. No batteries or switches to work with and after 3 years of 3.5" 2oz longbeard loads it's still holding together and holding zero. I paid around $60 from amazon and another $25 for medium scope rings for it. Should get you about where you want to be as far as money goes. If you're already drilled and tapped for a scope that is.

Simmons discontinued the pro diamond I believe. I have searched high and low for another and cannot locate one. If anyone knows where I can get one please let me know.

Simmons pro diamond, if you can find one.  Look into Konus, I have one on my muzzleloader.  They make a shotgun scope if I'm not mistaken.  The Simmons can't be beat though.

My eyes aren't the best , in fact there pretty bad ...I used to swear I wouldn't use a scope ,...about ten years ago I got a  bushnell slug gun spope with a plex reticle and loved it it was a 100 dollar scope and my aim got very accurate and FAST target acquisition.....then about 8 years ago I upgraded to a BURRIS M-TAC illuminated scope ...this this is so nice .....if i ever lost the scope i would run out and get another

Believe it or not it make the close in 10 yard shots easy

I think that's the one I had , its very nice

The thing about a scope is that you dont have to rely on batteries , and I have a peek through saddle mount and can use that as a reference point and/or backup

This sight was all fun and games for me until I had it in cold weather. Anywhere between 8-25 degrees it started not working. The red dot with fade away to nothing. I had to keep my hand over the battery area to keep it warm enough incase I had to use it. The only bonus is on my shotgun there is actually enough of a space between the scope and rail that I could actually use the iron sights if need be (barely though).

I will go to a regular shotgun scope or the iron sights after the year. Gave it a try, but a cheap red dot like this is just asking for trouble. I also have the one the OP mentioned...haven't put it on a gun though and the reviews also seem a bit sketchy.

I'll second the Gobble Stopper. I'm only in my second season using it, but it's worked great so far.
