I don't know if you want this red dot for plinking or SHTF. If it's just for plinking, I have a 1X Tasco Propoint that cost about $85 at Opticsplanet.com. It has been on my AR, 44Mag Marlin Lever gun, 357Mag Marlin Lever gun, Ruger PC9 9mm carbine, and M&P 15-22 now. It functions reliably and does not lose zero on any of them (and the lever guns have decent recoil). Although it has never malfunctioned, I don't know that I would want it to be forced to trust my life to it. If that is the type of optic you want, the folks here with more upscale optics can better help you (but I would expect to be paying a few hundred dollars for it).

I have a tru glo that I bought off of Ray Ray and I like it. Sits on my daughters 15-22. Your welcome to try it out if you wanna swing by the range.

did u ever put it on any rifles with larger caliber, such as 5.56mm and 7.62mm ?

7.62-what?

 

I know im just being a prick here for the most part but to get the point across,

7.62x25? 7.62x38r? 7.62x33? 7.62x39? 7.62x51? 7.62x54r? 7.62x63?

It would be like asking advice on how to adjust a scope at 100 yards for a .22. 22 what? .223? .22lr? .22 short? .22-250? and so on

 

 

I think your refering to x39 since I see you on the AK forums, and assuming that, the recoil isnt that bad and most decent budget red dots should hold up to it fine. Now, if its a 7.62x63 (30-06) then I wouldnt be so sure! I have a tru-glo on my 10/22 and it pretty solid. But thats just a .22, however I wouldnt be hesitant to try it on something with a little more oomph

 

You can go on midway and read all the reviews on the different red dots.
