It must be some good recoil, but it keeps eating red dots. The Blackhawk 45 colt +p. It can't be I have been trying cheap chinese dots to hold up the US/Montana recoil. I sent back the forth dot. This time I'm trying one that is not a reflex type.  So far the testing shows good results.  That's 4" the wind was ripping when I was testing. I was trying to keep the wind over my shoulder but in a 20 mph wind any little change will move even a 303 gr bullet.

I like my red dots, on 12 mag, 375 pistol and crossbow. most have been in service 15+ years. The crossbow recoils backward, many think it is a scope killer. Mine are all cheapo Tru-Glow. Now on sale at Natchez...$45

Try a Tasco TRD15....about $35 at Walmart. They are really under-rated. The 1x30 scope, not the reflex. https://tasco.com/red-dots/" rel="nofollow - https://tasco.com/red-dots/

That's very similar to the one I have on now. Not as easy to look through as a reflex but so far holding up to the hog. Got some gophers with it yesterday.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

I would imagine any red dot would have to be pretty well made. That's a lot of recoil. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
