Any red dot optics that work on a Saiga 12?

Does anyone know of any red dot optics that can take the abuse of a Saiga 12? I believe I tried a AIM brand and it lasted about 110 rounds before the glass broke.

How much are you willing to spend? Try a primary arms if you want to go relatively cheap.

Yep, Primary Arms red dots work great. I have one on my S-12 and one my 870 with hundreds (maybe thousands) of rounds through both and still running strong. Here's an 870 shot...

Ive have a bushnell TRS-25 mounted on mine and a Burris fast fire ii as well, both work great.

I'm working a UTG red/green dot sight on my Saiga 12, Mossberg 930SPX and even a Kel-Tec SU-16CA rifle and it seems to work just fine. It even seems to retain it's zero after removing it and then re-attaching. Surprizingly the zero didn't need hardly any adjustment changing it from the Saiga to the Mossberg. It has been the best $80 optic I've ever purchased. It even has a quick throw lever mounting system. Nice touch if you want to ditch it in a hurry (battery failure, broken glass, etc.).
Still less than 250 rounds fired with it, but no problems so far.

PK-AS Combat Sight, available from Tantal (or risk Ebay it) ~$250. It's cheaper than an Eotech and comes with the side mount specifically for the AK/Saiga.

On limited budget use at Gen 5 UTG side mount$~40, with the Bushnell TRS-25 ($80 amazon; parallax issues past 25 yrds).

Thanks, that gives me plenty of options to work with.

there a few different mounting options, but there isnt a better optic out there as far as red dots are concerned.
