What is the cheapest durable red dot scope?

[wash]

It's a .458 SOCOM pistol and I want a red dot. I imagine the recoil will be stout. What will survive without breaking the bank?

I've heard good things about the Vortex Sparc but I would rather spend Primary Arms mini red dot money.

Thats a big boy, i would like to see if Primary Arms Micro will handle it.

I have one mounted on a pellet gun and it hold zero just fine! pellet guns kill scopes/dots.
They will be in stock next month

Very interesting.

If you already have aimpoints, then primary arms provides the same SOP. IMO, the vortex controls are less than ideal.

if you want durable you will have to go with a full tube design if you want cheap barska stuff is ok

I thought "cheap and durable" was an oxymoron.

Concrete is cheap and durable.

I don't need fancy or light weight.

I might try to get a cheap used Aimpoint. If I can't find one cheap enough, it looks like I'll try the PA.

Yeah- forget testing optic on BMG.... a springer pellet gun will break most scopes quick.

I really like my vortex razor red dot, but it's probably a lot more than you want to spend.

"Durable" is not in the vocabulary of cheap optics.
