I've used a red dot on one before. I like them. They help to concentrate the pattern of your gun without having to aim high or low. That's usually a stock fit issue I guess, but the sight will help. If it's for the kids if definitely recommend it.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I use an Aimpoint red dot on mine, because the bead doesn't line up with the densest part of the pattern.

Red dots are non magnifying, you can put the dot in the densest part of the patt n.

I shoot a red dot also as of last year and love it.   I'll never go back.  I'm creeping up towards 40 birds in this state and the last two where a couple of the most fun with that sight.   Don't listen to cryder,he's talking out of his erskin!

Turned my Benelli Nova into my Turkey Gun. I love it. Really puts the pattern exactly where you want it. I also added a Limb saver recoil pad to tame the 3 1/2 shells and a cheek pad to help align my eye to the scope.
