Good Reflex that will hold up to recoil?

I am looking for a good Reflex sight to put on my Stoeger M3500. I want one that will hold up to the recoil of 3.5 inch shells if I decide to shoot them. I think for the mountainous terrain I hunt, a reflex would be better than a tube style. That way if a if a big gobbler sneaks in on me, I'll be able to pick it up easier in my sights. Thanks!

Here are 2 that have excellent track records.
1st one, and my personal choice, is the Burris FFIII with a 8 MOA dot . Weighing in at less than an ounce, it is rugged, waterproof, and can handle the brutal punishment of 3.5 magnums. Mate it ith a 336 Marlin base, and it's hard to beat. They go for around 250.00 or so.
My second choice is the Mueller Quick shot. It comes with 4 different reticles, is a little bigger than the Burris, and needs a Picatinny or Weaver base to ride on. They do sit higher, so some type of comb raiser is helpfull. It is also battle tested, and can handle the punishment of 3.5 mag rounds. Alot of guys on here run with that sight with excellent results. You can get a camo version for a little around 100.00, or the black for a little less.
I don't think you can go wrong either way. Good luck with your choice!

Well as nice as the Burris sounds, it seems like the Muller is the way to go for me since the Stoeger comes with a Weaver 93 mount

You won't be dissapointed. It's a good optic! One other thing. The Burris FFIII comes with a Weaver/ Picatinny mount that will fit the Weaver base. Just something to think about.

I run the FF III on a weaver base on my SXP 3 1/2 and so far has held POI. I am a lot partial to Burris. Great customer service that backs there products. Just my experience.
