Looking for recommendations. I bought a tactical solutions 6" .22 barrel for a browning buck mark as the original barrel had no threads and I'm wanting to put better sights on it than the original sights that'll "block out the little red schoolhouse at 50 yards". Question is......scope or some red-dot or? Not wanting to break the bank but also want something that I don't have to constantly screw with to keep zero. The new barrel does have a rail.

Burris fast fire or one of the many different ones. They hold up to abuse on slide mounted optics for center fire pistols.

Thanks I'll check those out. I just have no experience with anything optic wise except rifle scopes, always looking for informed opinions.

My experience has been that red dots are good for quick target acquisition on varmints or action shooting if the targets aren't too small. For any kind of target work where fine shooting for groups or on really small stuff the scopes are better by far. I will say the red dots I have used are all in what one would call the low budget end of things so it could be that higher cost units do better but I have never felt the need to spend the money to find out. Just my two cents worth.

Field sport red dot on Amazon is cheap and reported to hold zero on centerfire rifles. Red dots work for some people but not others. A twenty dollar test drive before jumping into an Aimpoint.
