I am looking for a reflex sight for my AR-15 that has a large lens, and will hold zero well.  Something that will not cost me and arm and a leg for, but also not a cheap sight that I have to re-zero after every range outing. Thanks in advance.

However, if intended for possible "serious social use" I strongly suggest you eventually step up to the Aimpoint/Eotech of your choice.

I've had luck with a Sightmark reflex. A good one will cost between $130 and $150 depending on the model. Just have to check to makes sure the base is solid (speaking from experience). The one I had cost $130 off Amazon and was NV compatible and has a QD which holds zero +/- 1 MOA (I'd easily pop prairie dogs with it @180+ yards). Just took mine off today in favor of an EOTech 516. If I bought another Sightmark, I'd get one with digital buttons instead of the rotary dial (more similar to an EOTech).

Primary Arms makes excellent budget optics.  They hold zero and are quite robust.  If it is for defense purposes, go with Aimpoint or Eotech though.

I bought the cheap stuff only to find out in optics you get what you pay for! Go Aimpoint! I love the compm4 and the PRO also!

I've got a burris fastfire that does all that I ask it to. A little over your budget but look on the EE you might get lucky. If primary arms would of had theres in stock when I got mine I probably would have went that route, but I don't regret the FF.

For your price range, possibly a used trijicon reflex II.


I had an RX06 and it was a solid optic.  Had some issues with washout in a very few specific lighting conditions.
