I am looking for suggestions for a red dot for my AR pistol.  I am looking at a budget red dot for now, knock offs are ok as this is just a range gun. Any and all experiences with good or sub par optics will help, as will any pics of how and where you mounted them.

Look in EE under Optics-budget.

I've had a couple of "budget" BSA red dots on my Pro-O AR pistol and neither of them held up very well to the stresses of firing.  The rotary switches are for shit.

I've now got my group-buy underused Eotech on the weapon and it's great!

EOTech is on my list too.  For now I threw on a cheapo reflex panaromic sight...fine for close in range play.

I like the StrikeFire. I used a LaRue cantilever mount for a lower 1/3 cowitness.



Evidently now they have a 2 hr auto-shut-off instead of a 1 hr auto-shut-off.

+1 on the millet 1" tube. When mounted on the carry handle it has nice eye relief and puts the sight in the perfect line of vison.  You don't have to crink you neck to shoot.
