Red Dot for Ruger Blackhawk

[jmak]

I am looking for opinions on a red dot scope for a Ruger Blackhawk in 44 mag to use for NY deer hunting. Shots should be under 75 yrds with most under 50 yrds. I would like to keep the price below $150.00. Is a 30 mm or 1" size better and what size dot should I look for? I have read good reports on the Ultra Dot and mixed reports on the Bushnell Trophy. Also, I have a Millet 30mm SP-2 with a 5 min dot mounted on my bow that has held up well over the last three years but I don't know if it could handle the recoil from the 44 mag.

Thanks,
jmak

jmak, you would probably be surprised to know what a punishment a bow can put out. If it is 60# or over and not 80% rollover, the sight will work. Probably will anyway. Get quality rings and base. Torque accordingly.
Were you aware that a fast pellet rifle will destroy a very good center fire rifle scope? It is the recoil impulse imparted. The bow is awful!
