gfl216 226 Posted November 8, 2022 Looking for recommendations for a budget red dot. I'm looking for something under $100 and will be mounted on either a Ruger 10/22 or Ruger pc carbine. I put a cheap $20 (off of an airsoft rifle) on my 10/22 and it's a lot of fun but want to get something a little better without spending a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheflife15 455 Posted November 8, 2022 I'm gunna go slightly over budget and say get a sig Romeo at 125. Worth every penny for a budget optic. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted November 8, 2022 Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 is a solid choice for under $100. I have them on a couple of my .22 rifles. https://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-Trophy-TRS-25-Riflescope-1x25mm/dp/B00200E0HM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdF 323 Posted November 10, 2022 Check www.palmettoarms.com . . . Some of the Sigs go under $100 regularly. I tried to go cheap, off of Amazon, for a while but didn't find anything that was worth $20. The dots aren't bright enough and they don't hold zero very well.

gfl216 226 Posted November 13, 2022 Thank you to all who replied. After some research on your recommendations I decided to go with the Bushnell Trophy that was recommended by Old Glock Guy. Found one gunbroker for $67 shipped. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
