Can anyone suggest a red dot type sight for a DP 12 shotgun application? The sight will be mounted to a Mil Std 1913 Picatinny rail. I would like to find something in the $100.00 - $150.00 price range that will hold up to the recoil. Also, I should probably look into back up iron sights. Thanks for your suggestions.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions I think the Burris looks like a good option.

  You may be happy with a Vortex or Primary Arms scope, but in that price range you take your chances on how long a scope will hold up to recoil.
  
  If I owned a $1,200+ shotgun, my choice would be a red dot or holosight such as EOTech, Trijicon, or Aimpoint; you don't want your optics to fail at an awkward moment. Since you only have about 12" of rail, I wouldn't think BUIS would be that helpful.

  A Burris Fast Fire might also work for you.

  I use Millett on my high powered pistols. I've never had a problem with them.
