Ever since I built my AR I was planning on running a scope and an offset dot.  Since NY doesn't sell any fun guns anymore I'm finally going to take the plunge.  I'm currently running an Optisan Mamba 1-4, which has been great, but I'm no good at changing magnification on the fly. I'll probably wind up putting a higher power scope on once I set up the dot, my eyes just arent good enough to make 300+yd shots on 4x.  I was looking at the DD 1 o clock mount, not sure on the dot though.  I like the fastfire style, I'd like to keep everything pretty small.  I figured I'd get one ot those shields I've seen if I get a reflex style dot.  Just looking for some reccomendations on the red dot, also on the size of the dot for this type of setup.  I'm thinking a bigger dot might be better for fast close-up shots.

Well I think I've come to a decision on a dot.  Looks like the eo tech xps2-0 is what I'll be going with.  I hate to spend that kinda coin on a dot, but I want it to be durable.  Does anybody have any experience with these?

Eotech for an offset sight? Eotechs are kind of big, even the exps2. Have you looked at the trijicon rmr?

A full size dot is not a good solution for the off set mounting option. Your weighing the gun down way too much. Go with a Aimpoint H1, RMR, Delta Point, Fast Fire etc.

I was pretty set on the fastfire but I heard some bad reviews.  Think I heard some bad reviews on the RMR too, that the reticle was impossible to see in a dark room.
