I'm wondering if anyone here has had any experience with an ATN compact digital Ultra Sight. It looks like it would work well on a weaver base on a revolver. Can't find out much about them. Thanks

You would be better off to call the manufacturer and ask how much recoil it will take. Some of those will not hold up to the new cannons.

I think I'm going to have to do that, I posted this question in several forums and got not one response from anyone who had one. The Aimpoint 9000 SC in the avatar on the .500 is a fine red dot but it's bulky and expensive.

The Ultra Dot on this BFR .475 isn't the optical equal of the Aimpoint but at 1/3 the price it does well. I bought it at your suggestion and am pleased with it.

On this little .41 a compact reflex seems like the way to go. The ATN compact runs around $140 or so. The Trijicon and DR. OPTIC are too doggone expensive. Maybe I'm trying to reinvent the wheel here because if this was such a good idea there'd be a lot more of them around.
