Weaver Micro Dot Reflex???
Have any of you ever used the Weaver Micro Dot reflex sight? If so I am looking for opinions like ruggedness. I am just looking for a cheaper option for a 410 build as the FF III's continue to go up in price, thanks in advance for any info.

I have never used the weaver before. But I have no qualms in buying a used Burris or Vortex red dot as they both have excellent warranties.
Might try and find one locally or on eBay for sale used. 2 right now on eBay that I’m watching

Will they mount without a Weaver base to go on? If not, you might as well look at one of the small tube style. Fieldsport and Bushnell have budget models that are often known to stand up.

Re: Weaver Micro Dot Reflex???
I was hoping they would have a footprint like the FF III or Venom as I will be mounting it on a Speed Bead mount, I called Weaver today and talked to a guy and he said that they have had a lot of trouble with them and were discontinuing them. the problem with buying used is there isn't much price difference between new and used and for 20 or 25 dollars difference I'd just buy a new one. I just want a decent sight at a decent price because after I take 2 or 3 birds with the 410 I will be done with it.

I seen one of them. the one we had in would fit a burris type base. Only thing you can to file off one or two of the post.

I did not realize the microdot was same size as the Burris and vortex.
At 55 and free shipping on eBay.. Might be a viable cheap option to try out and see how rugged it is or isn't.

Ade Advance Optics on amazon has similarly priced models of mini reflex that get good reviews. If I didn't already have a couple other things in progress I'd try one on my PMR-30 to see if it held up.

I had to look for the base for it. I did one for Tony from north GA.
