Reflex sights

I have had enough of the Imperial, TR and all that ultra long range accuracy stuff for a while so I dug out the Mossberg 930 shottie to mess up some targets at 50 yds with slugs!

I have tried a cheap red dot reflex sight and it worked just great, just what I want, but in the end the lens chipped and then worked loose. It is nearly out so no real good.

So question is guys, what are you using in the red dot reflex (or tube) type, 3 moa dot, slug proof and has stood the course of many rounds?

Sightmark is highly recommended in the US?, along with many other big names. I don't want to spend a fortune on a sight I could shake to bits!

Thanks folks

EOTECH, but you might run into export license restrictions.

Given the last two posts, the next question should be how much do you want to spend?

Guys, thanks a lot.

I guess money would be say, £150ish.

I notice that both suggestions so far are tube red dot, not reflex???? Eotech is a bit out due to cost I think. However, if it lasts 'forever' it may well be worth it!

I've got an Sightmark Ultrafire on my 9mm, a Bushnell TRS on my .22lr and a Burris Fastfire III on my .308 (as a sub 100m/back up sight bangbang :roll: :lol: - read as i had nowhere else to put it at the mo!) any of them would work on a shotgun, however i'm not 100% sure how the Bushnell and Sightmark would stand up to prolonged shotgun recoil
