pistol optic question
« on: February 02, 2015, 08:05:02 PM »
Have a cheap (no brand anywhere) reflex type dot sight on my S&W 22a.  I would like to find one of a decent quality.  This is a 350 dollar pistol not an open type race gun so I don't need or want something state of the art.  Just a decent quality entry level optic.
Ideas?

You might look at the Vortex models.  Pretty good optics that won't break the bank.  I have a Vortex StrikeFire II on my AR and it is very nice.  I have shot a few hundred rounds through it and it seems to hold zero.

The Viper model looks nice.
