I've seen those sights for shotguns.. advertised anyway. Have to check into it. I agree on the turn on turn off thing. Those little coin cell batteries are not inexpensive. Speaking of which..I bought a set of Crimson Trace grips in a pawn shop and got in touch with them..and they sent me the manual and a new set of batteries..with the promise of one set a year for life.. I was hoping to find a red dot sight that has a switch like the laser sights..hmmm. May be a worthwhile suggestion. I remember when Weaver had a red dot type sight for shotguns waaayyy back when..no batteries either. But they were awkward to use. Shot a few deer with one though. Gonna look at one of the reflex sights too. Do they have batteries?? Never looked at one. Went into a pawn shop in Billings the other day..got a Bushnell Trophy 4x12 DOA scope new in the box for 90 bucks. And a set of new RCBS 45 Colt carbide dies for 15.. Gonna drive those dies just like I stole 'em. That is another story.... But the scope could go on the rifle after momma gets used to it and learns how to shoot it. thanks for the suggestion about the Burris thing.

Skeet,
The problem with a dot and a new shooter is the dot is round and they do not realize that they are canting the gun. At any distance at all, canting the gun throws the shot off, to the angle of the cant. I have had a lot of dot sights, well over 100 in all configurations, I used a 2 MOA Gilmore in long distance competition for years and that hummer had a level bubble glued on top of the rear ring flat just for that reason, even I after over 30 years as a competitor could not tell when the gun was canted. Were it me, I would put that little Tasco on the AR. and set the magnification to where she had up close focus (target and cross hairs) for snakes and such. The wife is probably not going to be shooting much distance with precision, so short range focus will probably be the key. If she gets to where she can shoot well with the AR at distance, you can always put a better scope on it. I like to put the wife in the shooting business without her having to do any thing but flip the safety off and shoot. Ed
