Best Value Red Dot Sight?

AIMPOINT PRO! If you can't afford it get the Carbine

[SuperSet]

There's some kind of issue with the latest revision of the Bushnell TRS-25 where the dot disappears in the top 1/3 of the window due to the relocation of the emitter.
If you have an older version like mine, it doesn't have this issue but it has more red glare.

Still twice the price of an md-ads.
If I only had $200 to spare for optics it would be that or the lucid.

The problem with these questions is that we each have differing definitions of "value"

[CSTactical]

We have the Vortex Sparc II and Strikefire II in stock which are fantastic value priced red dots, call us at 916-670-1103 and we can get you set up

This right here.

red dot optics

I own an aimpoint pro, T-2 and a PA advance micro dot, I am very impressed with the PA, it can take the abuse you throw at it and it holds up on par with my aimpoint pro and a T-2. I am loyal to aimpoint but the value of the PA is very hard to beat

I have checking out the TRUE GLOW items and they look good.

Holosun's dwindling reputation doesn't leave me as confident in my PA MDS as I was in the older one we are all familiar with.

I would rather have a cosmetically beat to crap, but well functioning used Aimpoint M2 than any new Vortex Sparc II, Holosun, etc etc. and pay more than the new aforementioned.

[BradeRunner]

Aimpoint M2 appears discontinue.

At $500, I wouldn't put it in value category.

I just received a Bushnell TRS 25 to test. It has received good reviews. And is in the value category at around $85.

So far, it has the diode visible in the right lower field of view. Which I would rather not be there. Dot is laser clear, no cloudiness anywhere as noted above.

And it goes to 11. Nigel Tuffnell, would be proud.

Lucid hd7, extremely impressed, best red dot on the market for the price.

Buy once, cry once. Get an aimpoint and never look back. Out of any and all optic companies that make red dots Aimpoint is the one you hear the least about problems and/or failures. If you're not willing to put the $ towards a quality product then just use your iron sights, otherwise you'll be disappointed when the other one fails and you just gotta get an Aimpoint anyway.

Discontinued means that they can't be sold on the used market? News to me. Beat yet functioning M2s can be in the $250-350 range. That is big value TO ME. "Value" is subjective. If "value" means made in china (thereby cheaply made), then yes, the TRS is a good value purchase. If "value" means a well made, functioning sight from a reputable company with little chance the sight will cease functioning, then the TRS is definitely not a value purchase. My definition of value is the latter.
