Onthewater7,

I used a dot last year, and will use a scope from now on. The dot is good tracking and spoting on game. If you can see the dot it is on. I had a problem with the dot fading off and no. switch problems. The dot was replaced by factory after season. But that is one thing about dots, you have a chance of something going dead or not working. Also you do not have the light gathering with dot, you you loss low light shooting. I am not downing dot, I just like scopes better. Go with 2x6 or 2x8 scope.
