  Looking for some options on sights/optics for an AR-15
I have looked at Eotech, and Aimpoint Both are a little spendy, I will be shooting
most likely 80 to 150 yrds maybe out to 200.
Does anybody have any suggestion for me?

Irons.  Save you money for quality optics. Welcome to ARFCOM.

I have one AR equipped with a Aimpoint and the other 3 with EOTechs.  At the ranges you plan on shooting at the EOTech would be fine.  The beauty of the EOTech is there is no mount to buy.  If you have a flat top just take it out of the box and install.  By the time I got through with the Aimpoint and mount I was up to $500.  I don't regret it because it's a nice set up but the EOTech 512s only cost me $300 each.  If your eyes are young play with the irons.  If not the EOTech 512 is a affordable sight.  You have to master the irons but they get old really fast.  You will probably be a much better shooter with a sight.  Good luck and welcome.

As others have mentioned shoot with the iron sights. I did for four years before purchasing an EOtech, and it is awesome. As mentioned before save up your money until you can get something nice. BTW I am using a 511 that I bought off the EE new, for less than $300. not so bad really.
