Doesn’t meet approval but this one has worked well for me.

It has some tunneling but has been reliable for quite a few years.
55’ of FOV on the bottom is nice.

My woods gun (a 16" Ruger SFAR) wears a 1-6 Credo HX to have the options for close up work...that lever flips pretty quick when needed. My young eyes absolutely love the red dot.

Might want to consider a DNZ Game Reaper for the mount.
