any half way good re dots under $100

[trlcavscout]

I have a friend that's looking for a re dot in the sub 100 range. Nothing fancy just something that will hold zero. Any one try the ones at wal mart or sportsmans wharehouse?

I'll probably be getting one of the true glow ones at wal mart soon for the kids SR22 and will see how it works. ($39) or whatever it is, but it's cheap. Hopefully someone else will post up some information on it and others.

I've heard really good things about Primary Arms. They do clones of all the high end optics. They are supposed to be the cats meow for a cheaper optic that resembles the "real thing", allegedly hold zero very well. Obviously not an Aimpoint, Eotech etc. but a good representation. Here is the site

edited to add: Looks like an Aimpoint Comp M3 clone is going for $69, here is a link to reviews over on Arf.com, take them for what they are worth. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.htm...f=325&t=173865

+1 for Primary Arms. Great customer service and fast shipping.

Yes there is, but one of the best kept secrets out there, is there are tons of good optics out there for under a hundred.

What does he want to put it on?

Notice that the BSA and the Bushnell 30mm dot look a like....I have one on my Highpoint, they are good...but mine is not under that name. Also notice that they look like the Nikon, BSA, Simmons, and REF....can you say HMMMMMM?

Also notice the Bushnell 28 and 30 mm dots...that don't look like the BSA (They look like the Burris 1X35).

I woudln't look at the Millets...they are not want you want ("Nothing fancy just something that will hold zero."). They are a GOOD, not a half way good, dot....for under $100 I used to have the $200 dot on my duty AR. It is on par w/an EO Tech.

Here is another website...I don't know which one has the best prices. I have bought from both, and both of em are A-1.

Personally, get the millet, you won't wear it out. http://www.natchezss.com/Optics.cfm?...Matte%20Finish

Or, one of the cheap 30mm, like this (BTW, I noticed that they are all out of stock at Natchez http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=535901

Again, I highly recommend the Millett.

Good suggestions here! He is putting it on an AR, and he wants to co witness. So I dont know what mounts he needs? I seen some red dot/magnifier combos on ebay for like $100 but dont know if they are crap or not.

That one is alright but 5 moa?

Another vote for Primary Arms GTG-you can get the red dot with a mount for co-witnessing.
