For me, cheap means good quality and a reasonable price. If you buy something poorly made with a crummy warranty, you defintely don't get off cheaply. Check out Riton Optics. I have 3 of their Red Dots that I picked up at their last sale, and I couldn't be happier. In fact, I'll be training with them this week on my pistol-caliber carbines. I know they are having a big Labor Day sale that starts Friday, so check them out. Save some money and get a good optic.
Right now their 1 Tactix ARD (my favorite) is $99! I paid more than that! I put their 1 Tactix RRD on my Crossbow for pig hunting.

Primary Arms has the Holosun 403B on sale for $120. Its going to be hard to find a better optic in this price range.



Dang it. You just made me spend $250.

About to pull the trigger on a couple of ARs and my son wants a simple red dot sight. Any suggestions on what to avoid or recommendations on a good one?


If you want the cheapest of the cheap, a utg has been on my vepr12 for 1000 rounds or so.

Still accurate.

I would only run them on .22 ARs or shotguns personally

Holosun. Spend the extra bit of money. It's worth it in the long run.
