    The best red dot sight for AK under $100 is...



    Just installed a new rail on my AK. So now I'm looking for a red dot sight under $100. I'll be using it at the range and in the desert. Any advice or leads to a good deal are always appreciated.

        Bushnell TRS-25 is absolutely your best bet.

            Primary Arms. That's it. Don't bother with anything else except maybe Vortex or Bushmaster, but both may be just slightly out of your budget.

                  I plan to put the Vortex Strikefire on a .308 pistol (when PTR returns it) as I've seen others do, so that should tell you a little about the quality.

                            Instead of a new thread might as well ask here, seeing as my needs are similar. I have an old pencil barrel Mini 14 non-ranch(first rifle given to me as a kid), and going to put an Amega Ranges Scout Rail on it. Had been using the irons out 100yds on gallon jug sized targets and doing alright but feel a red dot would be easier on the eyes for a while. Would any of the following be fine choices(some mentioned already) as a red dot, don't really want a scout scope.

                            -Primary arms M3 style: ~69.99
                            -Bushnell TRS-25: ~79.99
                            -Sightmark Mini Shot Reflex Sight ~79.99 (Like the size. Doesn't have to be this brand)
                            -Other?

                            Don't need anything flashy as this rifle is basically for water jugs, cans, wasting ammo at distances up to 100yds. And with the heat of the barrel I usually put it down and get my other rifles anyway. Thanks for any input.
