    Best Value Red Dot Sight?

    Looking for RDSs for my Buckmark as well as a flattop AR.

    Not looking to spend a lot, but also not looking to throw money at something that goes out after one shot.

    What is your experience/what say you?

      Primary Arms MD-ADS
      Run abut $160, very rugged and awesome battery life.
      Mine has been on for nearly a year without fail, and it's as bright as my aim points.

        Best value, the non-advanced PA micro dot or TRS-25.

            TRS25 all day. I have put it through some serious national 3 gun matches and it can be had for around $80.

                I saw the RECOIL piece on it where they burned it, smashed it against a tree, and all sorts of **** and it still kept on trucking.

                I'm impressed.

                  You can get all kinds of inexpensive red dots. I have a BSA cheapo that I got for $50 bucks or so on my dedicated ar-22. And another reflex (can't remember the brand off the top of my head) that I got for <$80 bucks that I use on a buckmark. Both work just fine and I have had zero problems with them. If I was concerned about recoil, or wanted more reticle options, I would choose better, more expensive models but for a .22, you don't have to spend a lot of money.

                    Another vote for the PA MD-06. Great optic and PA has outstanding customer service.

                      Another vote for Vortex. Great products and an amazing warranty. What else do you need?

                              Lucid M7 $99 at Primary Arms.
                              I have the Lucid HD7 and I abuse it. Still holds rock steady and keeps zero. Uses AAA. Cheap and abundant. Lucid Optics are GTG.

                              Mounted mine on an SKS and it got beaten up and sprayed with oil and escaping gas - filthy and dirty but continues to worked like a champ

                              Vortex Strikefire Green/Red Dot (GEN I) or SPARC
                              Can't beat their warranty.
