RED DOT / SMALL DOT

[Guest ChattanoogaPhil]

Looking for an inexpensive red dot tube-type with a 3MOA dot or under for my M&P 15-22. Something like the BSA RD30 I have now but with a small dot. Does such a critter exist under $100? I have searched the net with no luck.

I've got a Sightmark Holosight with a very small dot but I'm looking for a tube-type.

Thanks.

im not sure on the MOA of the dot, but check out vortex optics. its around $150. I have heard of good reviews on arfcom and a buddy of mine.

When I decide to pick up and start playing with optics this will be my first one. IMO its worth a look.

Check out the Bushnell Trophy Red/Green dot sight. It's about $110.00 from Midway. I have one on a SIG and really like it.

Im running a NcStar 40mm tube red dot on my AK I dont know what size it is but at 100 yards in will not cover up a bowling pin. it is very tiny . The smallest Ive ever seen , why I bought it. and cheap. I think it was 39.00 and has held up pretty good.

Are you referring to the SP-2? I'm considering that one. I can't find any info on the weight, though. If you can, would you please throw it on a kitchen scale and post the weight?

Thanks.

I see this NcStar claiming 1MOA, which one do you have?

Thanks

I went to the NcStar web site and see they got a bunch of 3moa red dots to chose from. Thanks again.

Try one of these. They have a lifetime warranty and are getting great reviews.

Here is the cheapest place to get them.

Is the mounting system solid or will it loosen ??

Everything I've read says they stay put. However, there were a few notes not to over tighten the bolt. with a lifetime no questions ask warranty i figure I'm gonna give it a shot. I really like the idea just don't have a need for the real thing.

I had not even thought about Millet. I took a look at their web sight and found an interesting scope. 1-4x24 DMS. They claim it has a "true" 1x. If that is accurate, then I'd have a 4x scope with a 1MOA red dot that will also 1x co-witness with flip sights. That's ain't bad. Not exactly in the price range that I had in mind... but...

Had one on my 6.8 AR and loved it! I had the ADM Recon QD mount. Got mine for under $200 here. Millett 1-4x24 DMS Tactical 30mm Riflescope

I considered the DMS for my AR. Look at one in person if you can, that thing is heavy compared to similar scopes.

I did some web searching and read a couple reviews from those who had used the DMS. Apparently, the DMS doesn't have a "true" 1x because they said their front sight was fuzzy at 1x. Pretty much defeats the purpose if it doesn't co-witness.

I had been thinking about throwing a carry handle on my 15-22 and a cheap 4x with a see-thru carry handle mount. Then using a holosight on the rail which will co-witness. Maybe that's my best alternative... but I sure like the idea of one scope doing both.

I should have asked you first. Did the DMS you had have a true 1x to co-witness with BUIS? Was in Gen 1 or 2?

I've not used any high end scopes and the DMS-1 seemed fine to me. You will get guys on AR15 that complain about the 1x but most of those same guys consider anything under $500 glass to be junk. I had it co-witness with my irons without any problem. It wasn't perfect, but it was very usable and wouldn't have even thought differntly had I not read about it from others. IMO.
