I have a Colt and am trying to find a red dot scope and mounts that will still enable me to use the peep sights. I looked at aimpoints and leupolds. Any other ideas. you guys seem to know your equipment!

i like my aimpoint for most shooting situations. if batteries are a concern buy the reflex 2 w/12.5 triangle...Dick

The OKO, Comp M/ML/M2/ML2, Reflex II, C-more, leupold, and even the Optima2000 are all really fine choices in Dot sites for an AR15, My choice is the new Aimpoint CompM2.

I absolutely love my Aimpoint Comp M XD. Works great in low-light conditions.

I've got the Reflex II with the 12.5 MOA triangle.

Great sight. I shoot from 0 to 500 meters, the tip allows for as precise shooting as you can accomplish. The triangle doesn't limit your precision, so it's up to you and the rifle.

The Trijicon Reflex II and Aimpoint Comp M/ML/M2 are the two most proven on the market. Search the optic's forum for TONS of opinions on both of them.

Aimpoint Comp M XD .The old model with 3 MOA dot. The new ones have 4 MOA dot's and it's to large for me.I would prefer smaller than 3 but Aimpoint did not make. The old models are selling @ a discount now so I'm getting a couple more.Extra battery life hype on new models is just that,hype. The old models have great battery life.
