Lookingfor suggestions for Reddot for AR-15
landon410:
i bought some unk brand (I think sightmark???) red dot sight from Scheels for under $50 a couple years ago, had it on my hipoint 9mm carbine, worked great for that, its sitting in my garage somewhere now..... I'm not selling it, but if you just want a cheap dot sight, why spend even $100?
dang, I never should have sold that carbine!
edit, this is what i have

not fancy, but worked for plinking low recoil guns at 500-100 yards

I have a Vortex Strikefire and when the brightness is cranked up to eleven it is plenty bright even on sunny days. The two biggest complaints I have about the Strikefire? (1) I hate the push-button on/off switch on the side, because it can become activated inadvertantly and run down your battery, and the only way to check if it is on is to look through the scope. (2) The end caps do not fit well, and they are (at least with a new sight) tough to close properly. I have found that the sight holds a zero well from range trip to range trip despite my clunking the rifle around from bench to car to gun safe and back.
The Lucid HD7 might be worth a try, too. I have a buddy down in FL who loves his. Here is a vid review:
Randy:
Plus 1 on the Lucid HD7 Gen. III Red Dot.
I have two and love it, it has a two moa dot with auto or manual brightness settings.
This scope has rave reviews on Optics Planet, cost is $189.00 & free shipping.
Many of the cheaper Red Dots have a four or five MOA dot which many find is just two big for accurate plinking.
Use the HD7 on both my AR-15 and M&P 15-22.

EOTech. Not the cheapest, but reliable and good quality.
