510 is definitely my favorite and have a couple on AR's. I wanted to put one on my new sa-20 but for some reason everyone likes to run the little pistol style red dots? What am I missing, why should I not put a 510 on it?

I think the size is the primary reason. I had an EOTech on a SBE and it worked ok, but it just wouldn't be right at all on my little 20 gauge. The weight of the much heavier sight also made it hard to hold zero with the 3.5" boomer magnums.

If you don't mind the size, go for it!

Eotech all the way if you can deal with the circle dot reticle. The holographic technology is the best sight technology in my book. Way different than a red dot reflex sight. The Holosun is not a holographic sight.

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured...that and just the looks of it. I decided to get a Swampfox Justice II green dot with a sumtoy mount. The Justice has a bigger diameter window and think it's a 6moa dot instead of 3. Maybe I will like that setup better than I did the little tiny holosun 507k on the 940 pro turkey I had.

Really like this sumtoy and swampfox justice ii combo on my new sa-20. Got the green dot. Like the way this sits up a little higher and its a 30mm opening and bigger dot most are smaller than that or something like that just works better for my eyes.

Hall that is a sweet gun. I love the camo on it. I need to dip my mossberg in that.

I have a Burris FF2 on the 12ga and a Vortex Venom on the 20ga. Didn’t think I would, but I love them.

You can get a Leupold Deltapoint Pros for $350-$375. Definitely not the most budget friendly option, but a very quality red dot. That's what I run on my turkey gun. Buy once cry once.
