There’s something very wrong with your red dot mounting

It’s tilted. Usually scopes/red dots are securely mounted to the top rail

I got the same cheap red dot for my airsoft AR. Interested to see if a $30 optic would actually hold a zero on a 12 gauge...

I put one of these in my shotty. I got maybe 5 shots and then dead. I didn't really care since it was a 10 year old optic but I don't think these cheap optics are meant for any serious calibers. 22 for sure. 9mm and 357 out of a rifle yes. Anything higher will probably destroy the optic.

The back is raised up. I’ve never seen one like that

I think this is how this red dot is designed! I tried to zero it by using the bore laser thingy. Will take this to the range and see how it will perform.

I just looked up the product page. And I can certainly tell you it's not supposed to look like that.
