I may be alone here, but I'd go with what you have picked here. Its advertised for tactical shotguns, so its gotta hold up. And for $80, why not give it a go. I would.

It should be durable enough for your Vepr 12. Anything can happen to any product at anytime. If you buy this, register it immediately for Bushnell's Limited 1 yr warranty. Then test it until you are satisfied it will live and function on said Vepr 12.

It will work great and hold up just fine

The recoil from a shotgun is pretty hard on optics. We use the lightweight holographic sights made for pistols usually like the C-more RTS2 and it's in your price range.
