Budget Red Dot

[till44]

I am in the market for a "budget" red dot. I don't have the funds now to drop $400+ on an Aimpoint so I am looking at a few knock-offs (NcStar, Zeis, etc.). Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with any replicas or just cheaper brands? This will be going on an OLL and an AR pistol.

Over on ARF.com there are a few from a member that seem to get good reviews and for less than $100 it seems like it may be something to look into.

The Bushnell Trophy red dot is an excellent piece for those on the budget.

Stay far away from NcSTAR.

Airsoft or not, its cheap and it works and holds zero.

Mine has held up nicely.
and no thats not mine in the video.

for 50 dollars.. you cant go wrong.
I have no removed it and its on my airgun for rat hunting.

Although it says red dot settings 1-7.. mine came with 5 settings of Red and 5 Settings of Green. I got 20 cr2032 lithium batteries from deal extreme for like 3 dollars shipped FROM CHINA so that was a plus.
