I think a red dot sight on a hard kicker is a good idea. I have spoken with the Zeiss people, and they say their Z Point would take the recoil of a 500 double and up.

I have one on a 308 I am testing. I have used Aim Points and EO-Tec's on 223's, but see no reason why they would not work on a hard kicker as they meet tough Military tests.

I have a couple of early EO-Tec's that I am going to test on a 375 H&H and a Blaser D 99 Duo 9,3x74R-12ga drilling.

I also thing the Doctor Optik would be an excellent choice. I shot one on an AR 223 and loked it.

They are very light and compact. The 4 minute dot is the correct one for a rifle.
