What feature do I look for in the description that will get me a brighter red dot for my rifle?

Not sure of your question but I have a Meopta scope on my hunting rifle that lets me adjust the brightness of my dot. When it’s dawn or dusk I use the low setting and bright setting when it’s middle day.

I would look at reviews. Not specs.

What are you looking to achieve with this optic? I’ve got several different red dots and they all go brighter than I need.

Being able to see the red dot better on a sunny day.

Red dots are generally MUCH brighter than scopes.

I've got both, and the scopes have etched reticles that you can illuminate, but they really don't go daylight bright. That said, "daylight bright" conditions, seeing the reticle usually isn't an issue.

All my red dots are plenty bright, even at medium settings.

I have an Sig Sauer Romeo5 red dot on a few of my guns and they’re very bright if you turn them up. I usually have to run them on the lowest setting or they’re too bright.

I dunno but PSA has the vortex for $89 right now and the Sig mentioned above is highly rated and priced at $105 at some places.

Never used one but the romeo5 at ~$150 is a great buy. Usually get some stuff for free when you spend that much at palmetto state.

That Romeo is more than I want to spend. How about this one?

This LINK
is the budget king.

It's been reviewed a good bit on youtube, 704 Tactical did a couple reviews and it's stellar. It's a straight Romeo5 clone, probably out of the same Chinese factory, for half the price. Shake awake, durable, holds zero.

I've picked up a few, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

That is good to know. I have that on my AR-15. I will just get another one for my 9mm carbine.

Looks like it has great reviews. I would assume the dot would possibly be as bright since it’s the same manufacturer

When I shot my AR it worked great with the Agukexsa. The red dot I had on my 9mm carbine sucked, so that is why I was looking at another one. I did not think about ordering the Agukexsa again. Having two of the same type would make it easier to remember how to adjust.
