I'm looking to build a basic budget rifle (.223/5.56) and I was trying to decide on sights/scopes. I have red dots on all my target pistols and love them, but I'm not sure how they'll work out on a 100 yard plus rifle. I'm going for a flat top upper and losing the standard front sight in the process, so it will need some kind of sights. It's strictly going to be a target gun (range access is only 100 yards right now), but I would like the option of using the scope and iron sights for practice purposes.

I saw this scope http://www.cdnninvestments.com/ar6xra2rebdc.html . I like the quick detach option and the price is in my ball park for a starter option. Has anyone had any experience with this brand? I'm not looking for atom splitting accuracy at my price range. I'm trying to keep to under $100. Any other suggestions ofr a detachable scope/red dot?

Go with a primary arms anything over an NYC star.

The PA 1-6 is awesome for the money

The absolute complete Chinese crap. Your better off burning the money. If you are on a budget look at primary arms for red dots, still made in China but decent quality.

My vote is simply use irons until you can save for something like an aimpoint pro. Its honestly not that much more $, and its a great product. The last thing id want on my weapon is an optic that would/could fail.

There are a ton of good scopes in that price range, or slightly more.  

Bushnell, Nikon, etc.   read up on your options before you buy.

I think NC Star has been voted off the Island.
