Rifle Scopes Red dot for shotgun

[Natty Bumpo]

Looking to get a red dot sight for a 12 gauge shotgun. It's used to shoot feral hogs from helicopter. Shoot 3" buckshot loads. Short range work.

Prefer holographic type sight to a "scope" type red dot. Employer willing to spend up to $200; might be able to stretch that up a bit. Just been aiming "instinctively" so far, which works OK.

It's a pump gun, so recoil is significant. I had been considering the C-More railway sight (I've already put a picatinny rail on the gun).

The Burris Fastfire was my first thought. It's small enough to stay out of the way.
