Best Affordable Red Dot?

[NightHawk24]

Looking for a red dot for my 301 20GA. Really interested in the Swampfox Kingslayer and the Burris FF3, but just wondering if there was some others I should consider. TIA!

I've run some Bushnell RXS-100 on a few guns and if money is super tight that's been a solid set up on everything I've ever put it on.

Burris FF3 is the best deal in the market. That's a fact, not an opinion.

Burris FF3 is $160 and has a lifetime/no-questions-asked repair or replacement warranty. Only Burris and Vortex have that type of warranty. The Vortex is just as good but $90 more. If you are ever on a hunt, crawling and smash your glass on a rock and it breaks, Burris will give you a new unit. Vortex would do the same. Trijicon, Swampfox and Holosun will politely tell you to go fly a kite. Get the FF3.

I wouldn't put another kingslayer on a turkey gun if it was the last optic on earth.  That thing is terrible for hunting, I have one laying around that I might put on an air rifle or something, but never on a turkey gun.  It turns itself off after 4 hours.  Period.  I don't care if you move it, adjust the intensity of the dot, whatever, that thing is going to turn off at the 4 hour mark and you have to manually turn it back on.  Chances are its gonna happen with a turkey in front of you sooner or later. 

You can get the romeo 5 considerably cheaper, it has WAY better battery life,  is auto off/on and the motion activation is very sensitive, you don't have to ever worry about it not turning on.

I'm curious if you contacted Swampfox about the issue?  As I understand it, if the buttons are pressed it shouldn't shut off.  It seems that most folks are pretty happy with their Kingslayer and from what I have read their customer service is good.

Where are you finding this for 160.00, everywhere I'm looking says 250ish

It's not an issue. That is how the Kingslayer is designed. It is not designed as a Shake and Wake optic.

I've been real happy with the at3 micro red dots. Same footprint as a Fastfire, cheaper, and I like the button and battery cap quite a bit more.

it doesn't have to be a 4 hour duel, if I didn't have a shake awake site, I would turn my site on when I leave my truck.  Or if it was a high battery life I would just put a new battery in it turn it on on opening morning and never turn it off.  Repeat each year.  What is the other option, wait to get on a bird and turn on your site?  Nah, thats not for me at all.    No way I'm hunting something that can turn off at the wrong time.

This is what I put on on my SA-28. Hard to imagine a better sight for under $100.

Camera Land New York still has the SightronSRS-2 Reflex Sight Kit - MOA-6 for $119.99.

Some may not like the 6 MOA dotbut it works good for me.
