Recomend a Red Dot about $300 range.

I'd like to mount it on my Genesis Arms Gen12 named Lilith. All you bible thumpers know who that is.
I say $300 because I just saw a magazine with Leupold Freedom RDS with mount and that was the MSRP. Might be much but that is the Red Dot to beat. I thought about going with Armson OEG but they seem delicate. They were okay for my paintball guns but for a 12 gauge? I don't know.
So try to sell me on your wares.

Holosun. Pick your model/redicle.
Vortex has a good warranty but you will need it.
Trijicon is out of your budget.

same sight just different reticle
I have a Vortex Sparc that works well.
Look at Swampfox Optics. High value glass and features, a great warranty (in theory...I've never needed to use mine) and if you are LEO or military will give you a substantial discount.
They also have prism optics as well which can help for those with astigmatism.
I have settled on Burris.
Tough not to pick Holosun, even though they're made in China.
I like Sig Sauer Romeo 5's.
Burris.
I have had good luck with Sig's Romeo line and Holosuns..
I think I read Holosun makes Sig's dot sights...or they are made in the same factory ?
These are mine. You're welcome to bid. I like the JPoint. It's really small and light.
I wasn't looking at those open corkpit reflex jobbies because I thought they were fragile looking. But I'll look again.
Romeo7 might be in the running.
A friend o' mine likes the Primary Arms. I should look in to that, too.

Time to re-focus on this one. Since I goofed up on the new shiney bipod distraction.
So what's good on used market for about $300?
Being a red dot for the shotgun I like ones with a big dot (3 M.O.A.?).
Checked out Holosun and I kind a like Holosun HS515GM because it has 65 M.O.A. reticle. I know they're not quite $300 but maybe I can find one on sale?
Save a little more and get the Aim point 9000sc
I ended up ordering the Leupold Freedom RDS. Since I didn't have to buy the 8.5 mm MSD spark plug wires to pass smog. The red dot was reasonable $260 and it's made in 'merica (I think?).
