Handirifle, the dot is just a 30.00 bsa from Wallyworld. No magnification in it. I put it on before the last hunting season to see if I would like a dot compared to a scope. The dot is easier to me to keep still and use a little faster. I have put over 500 rounds on this one and for a cheap one it's held up so far. The Bushnell with the 4 reticles would be a good one. If my bsa quits that's what I would probably get. I like the idea of the crosshairs on that one. You will get alot of opinions about going bigger cal on here but I can tell you if you get the 357 shooting good you'll be alright. The way I look at it I enjoy shooting 2-357's I own and probably shoot them better because of it. A 454 or 480 or 44 wouldn't get shot as much at my house. I've seen guys who shoot these a couple times a year and they don't shoot so well hunting season. :grin:
