Heavy recoil red dot? Best ?

I really want to kill a deer with my 357 Mag. Irons are hard to see at deer time, so I want a red dot for late and early. The 357 mag with 180 gr Hornady XTP has a pretty stiff recoil. Its pretty hot but safe in my revolver. Those that have experience with this type of set up, or harder recoiling chamberings I'd love to hear what your recommendations are. As always, I appreciate your input.
 
I have ran some heavy loads through a couple of GP 100’s , blackhawks and FA. The little Bushnell has held up on all of them. FYI I run 170-200 grain bullets in my 357’s.
A 357 doesn’t have the violent recoil that tears stuff up. Just make sure a good base/mount is used.
 
Ran a ultradot 30 on my 454 casull ruger. Never had a problem. I ended up with a weaver scope and broke that in 40 shots. Now have a burris scope and put the ultradot on my 12 ga turkey gun
 
Personally I recommend looking thru as many as you can. I was not impressed with the Trijicon rmr. It had a bad smeared looking dot. I don't think it was as much fault of the unit as much as it is my glasses prescription.
