Cheap red dot?

[marv]

I'm looking for a good cheap reflex red dot sight. Does such a thing exist?

From my experience, you get what you pay for ....

 

[singlesix]

What price range is cheap to you.

 

[yote hunter]

BSA makes a ok red dot... They run about $50 - $70, Ive used them off and on and work good for close range shooting..

 

[Robjps]

Define cheap, and what you want it for.

 

[M67]

Yeah, how cheap?

Bushnell TRS-25 are solid, never used one but Primary Arms gets high remarks.

I have 2 Vortex SPARCs and they've been solid too

I like the vortex products. They are relatively cheap, great warranty and work well

No. Cheap and quality optics do not go hand in hand. They're are some options that are a better value than others, but nothing that I would define as "cheap". Your going to have to spend >$100 to get something that is remotely reliable.

No necessarily true.. Vortex is cheaper than aimpoint or trijicon but still quality.... China an quality do not go hand in hand

Anyone have an opinion on NcStar?

 

[Brassman65]

NC Star is china junk same as UTG. I wouldnt trust it on an Airsoft gun

The 2 primary arms microdots I own have been excellent. 1 is on an ar15 the other on an lr 308.

Vortex strikefires are hard to beat. Talk to Alan at AA optics, he will have you set up for less than 150

What sre you using it on. What will be primary use. I have a couple of less expensive red-dots that have been on multiple guns and still work just fine.
I also have Aimpoint as well.

The cheapest reflex sight I've seen good things about is the Burris FastfireII.

Those are not close to cheap. Great optic and all but not what the OP wants. Or I could be wrong. Not the 1st or last time I am sure.

As soon as we get a definition of cheap we can be of further assistance.

I bought a used strike fire which works great. I will say that I remove the battery when I'm not using it because every time I look at the gun the on switch gets bumped on. I have this on a .22 plinker so it's no big deal to use it like that but I don't know if I'd put one on a personal defense weapon unless they have redesigned the "on" button.

All in all for the price I think its unbeatable. If you have the money I'd have Alan set you up with the Sparc instead.
