Guys looking for some feed back on a red dot 3 moa that's not a Burris or Vortex. Im building a new turkey machine this year and these 2 sights are just not in my budget at the moment. Any feed back would be appreciated , will be sitting on top of a Franchi Affinity 3inch behind some TSS so need some durability... Thanks again God Bless.

If those are out of your price range then I wouldn't look at reflex type red dots.  I wouldn't put anything less than those 2 on a turkey gun. If it were me with a budget under 200 I would hands down grab a sig romeo 5. Its a 2 moa dot, not 3, but a fine sight.

I'd agree, gotta spend a few bucks to ensure quality. I'll e honest I dif t like the FF3 and returned it. Terrible. I'd wait until you could afford better than even those two

Not sure which manufactured red dot you are looking at but I have a Bushnell Trophy Red dot setting on top of my 835.  I only shoot 3 1/2" Hevi's and this gun has traveled to Kansas, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Florida, multiple times, without a single problem.  This optic has never let me down traveling or has it lost zero.  I bought mine 11-12 years ago for about $50.

I have had no problems with the Truglo gobble stopper.

I would hold off and buy Burris FF3 then the 2nd choice would be Vortex.     Now look at the Burris FF2 they good just not all the bells and whistles

We've had good luck out of a Bushnell TRS on one of the 20 gauges. I broke down and spent the money on a aimpoint micro but that little bushnell is still running strong on my sons 20.

I put this one on a 410. It has been reliable.

I tried the Gobbler Stopper and had good success with it. But in early morning and low light conditions the reticle seemed to wash the sight picture out. Sold it to a buddy he put it on a 44mag he could not kill it!

If you don't mind this type of Red Dot I have used these on shotguns and AR rifles with no problems. I actually found my last one on sale for $54.
