Anyone have a Vortex red dot on a slug gun? I currently have an Eotech which is awesome but I don't like the high objective of the setup.  The Eotech has the buttons more less on bottom of the lens and this makes it kind of a high mount on a cantilever Weaver style mount. Want to switch out to a red dot by next winter. What kind of mount set up would I be looking at? Can these red dots handle repeated blows from a 12ga slug? Which model would be suggested?  Thanks.

While I don't have a Strikefire on my slug gun I do have one on a Beowulf and I have had no problem with it.

Anyone else? Someone from Vortex maybe?

I'm interested in hearing this too.  I'd like to put a SPARC on my Benelli Nova Tactical and my Saiga 12.

We've had quite a few people run them on slug guns without any issue. I haven't personally, but I'm pretty sure that Scott has. He's out of the office right now, but I will ask him when he gets back.

I'm in the process of ordering a cantilevered slug barrel with the full intention of putting a Sparc on it.  From my theorizing it'd be a perfect reflex optic for hunting.  Rugged for all intensive purposes and priced just right.  I'm looking forward to it.  Kudos to Vortex for creating this little fella.

this strikefire went over 500 rounds through this bad boy , 458 socom   325 grain hornady ftx bullet launched at 1850 fps . never had a hitch or a bobble .  I would say it should be fine on a slug gun. this is one tough optic.
