I have a recently made 6" Colt Anaconda (AC- prefixed serial number) that I'd like to put a red dot type sight on. I intend it to be a dedicated blacktail hunting gun here in the SE Alaska rainforest. Call it up to 50 yards; I'd rather not bother with any magnification. I have a shoulder problem preventing me from bowhunting until I get the shoulder straight up replaced and this is going to be my interim short-range hunting solution. Problem is that I find the factory sights too coarse for the precision I want, so yes, I'm going to defile an Anaconda with an electronic sight lol. At least it's not a vintage/classic one...

I'm not a 'red dot' guy and trying to look at the options online has been, well, overwhelming. It doesn't help that it seems like whatever search engine I use points me to articles in the online version of hunting/shooting magazines that are basically invariably flattering ads.

So, what would y'all recommend as "red" dot sight for an Anaconda? I put "red" in quotes because I'm open to green as well. Gold/yellow not so much; it blends too well with what deciduous plants we have here in season, even in August.

My priorities:

It must have a fully enclosed emitter. I've heard enough gripes from guys I know around here to know that 'rainforest' and 'open emitter' are not a happy combo

Smaller is better

Cheaper is better- this isn't my main tool for putting meat in the freezer; that's a .270 bolt action running 150 gr partitions. So I'd rather not invest too much in it

Being able to swap batteries without dismounting the optic/re-zeroing it would be nice

One final note: this is not a bear-defense handgun, if that matters for anyone's advice. If I'm in an area where I'm worried about bears (which basically translates to coastal brown bears), I hunt with a .375 Ruger and a 10mm loaded with hot hardcast loads. The Anaconda is intended to be a dedicated deer-popper on low risk (black bear only) islands. So I'm not worried about totally replacing the rear sight with the optic if necessary.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Bought a drone from the not-reassuringly-named 102_store00

Price (including shipping/import duties) was way better than I'd seen for US retailers, and for my particular location the shipping was significantly faster too. Whatever import duties/taxes/fees exist were indeed included in the shipping cost, and I didn't have to do a thing to facilitate the shipment (a first for me when ordering something internationally).

So yeah, add me to the increasing ranks of people happy to have ordered from a weirdly-named South Korean eBay store. 'Too good to be true' simply turned out to be 'true'.

I'm now finding myself wondering what the hell other markups I've paid for unnecessarily here in the US for foreign products.

What the heck lol.
