Ive been considering a red dot on my shotgun, but I question its utility.
I own a Stevens 350 Security shotgun. It has massive ghost ring sights, which I personally love.
The only reason I could see to really need one would be for night shooting. The one time I have shot shotgun at night, it was difficult to see the sights.
A red dot or holographic sight would potentially make night sighting easier.
Anyone have one? Why did you put it on? Has it been helpful, or is it a tacti-cool accessory?
For daytime use, I can think of no reason to justify a red dot. The sights are effective out to the maximum effective range of a shotgun, which I consider to be 25 yds.
