Red Dot on Krieghoff 470 double

[1peggy]

Does anyone have a set up you like? I need some help picking one and looking for advice. Also who mounted it for you? Thanks in advance.

There may be opinions but there is no question that a single sighting plane such as a scope or red dot reflex sight is faster to use than aligning metallic sights.

Where to mount the red dot sight. Seems Krieghoff have made a space right over the chamber, but aint that to tight to really use the field of view on SRO. Ain't right before back sight the right place? And it wold suit more old aged eyesight.
