Hey All,
I am looking for a Red Dot / Holographic and a flip to the side 3x Magnifier combo to put on a low cost AR I have built. I don't want to spend more than $200-400. The optics can be a paired set (from the same manufacturer) or mixed, as long as they don't need special risers to match heights. The AR is a flat top picatinny rail.
The recommendations can even be cheap ones with good optics and then a separate recommendation for a sturdy flip-up replacement as one of the biggest complaints I have read for low cost optics is how the mounts are not solid.
For example, if these are a good combo (UTG DS3840W & UTG New Gen 4inch 3x Magnifier w/ Flip-to-side Picatinny Mount), but the flip mount is loose, maybe a replacement recommendation for a strong flip mount that could be used on the optic as a replacement.
I just don't know a lot about low cost optics, but I want to keep the complete cost of this AR under $800 if I can and I have spent $510 so far.
Thanks guys!
