Long time rifle/bow hunter in Michigan. Just bought Taurus .44Mag, 8 3/8", SS tonight. Looking to join the ranks.

Buddy has same gun. He swears by red-dot scopes, believes T.A. too dificult w/ scopes. While I am leaning the same direction, I'm a bit more of an 'accuracy nazi' than he is.

Please give me your best opinion on a red dot brand/model!! Hunt conditions: 100 yds or less, usually mixed forest/swamp.

OR, if the red dot is useless/unliked - sell me on something!!

Looking for opinions, I know everyone has 'em !!!
