looking for an affordable red dot for beretta cx4 storm

[david8613 69]

looking for an affordable red dot for beretta cx4 storm, I like those aim points but they are so expensive. Anything similar with a lower price point?

[Anselmo 87]

I have no personal knowledge of it but check out Nut's review: link

[Caine 147]

Primary Arms Micro Dot should be low enough to co-witness on the CX4: http://www.primaryarms.com/product.sc?productId=402&categoryId=419

They have a few aimpoint knock offs that might work if you get them with a low mount.

 

One of the members here (RayRay) has this Burris on his CX4 http://www.burrisoptics.com/xts135.html and it seems to work well

Vortex SPARC - $200'ish for a good quality red dot. I have it on my AR.

Primary arms micro. I own multiples, and I am happy with every one.

Yup, co-witnesses and is a good quality red dot.

I like the aimpoint micro t-1.

Lots of discussions of CX4 red dot sites at the Beretta long guns forum too:

Haha, OP stated specifically:

Wouldn't make much sense to suggest an Aimpoint, let alone the T1 model, haha.

 

I too give a nod to Primary Arms. I'm a long time customer of theirs, and have a PA RDS myself, and works just fine.

it is all relative..... I was going to get the PA one because I do think it is a good product from what I have read.. and I had ruled out the higher end optics.. but then I stumbled onto a used trijicon with mount for sub $200... and it is my opinion that a used $500 optic for $200 is worth a hell of a lot more than a NIB $100 - $150 optic... and the reason for that is high end optics like Aimpoint simply don't fail and generally continue to function as well as they did day one..

 

so new? yeah a NEW t1 or h1 is a ridiculous suggestion.. and even used it will be kind of costly.. but eotech... aimpoint.. trijicon... are out there used.. and can probably be had for 200-400 depending..

Someone on Brian Enos' forums is selling a Vortex Strikefire (BNIB) for $125...

That is what I meant. I would buy used and get a better optic.

watch the end of a 10min review on youtube and get a coupon code for $30 off & free shipping from website. or pm me and I think i can find it.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I remember that - They were out of stock when I was looking. It may be easier to get now.

[hiker88 22]

check out Bushnell trs-25... you can order it from Amazon at a cost of 39.99 after MIR. This used to sell over hundred bucks several months ago. You can watch plenty of reviews on youtube. I ordered one for my M&P 15-22 together with a cheap riser mount.

[Jeff 13]

I bought one of those and returned it. The dot did not stay on the target if you moved your eye even slightly off-axis. Bought an Eotech instead and it is awesome.

[david8613 69]

lookin at these 2 walmart specials, got a gift card and wanna burn it, which one do ya think is better...

I second / third the Primary Arms micro dot. I love mine. It appears to be very high quality for the price, and is one of the brightest and clearest I've ever seen. I'm sure it's not as long term durable as the aimpoint, but side by side there is very little difference out of the box.

PA and Vortex SPARC are both top on my list if I choose to go with an affordable non-top tier manufacturer alternative.

[david8613 69]

any discount codes on the primary arms, im about to order this i think, too many good reviews...

I got my XPS2-0 brand new never mounted from some guy who needed quick cash for $350 shipped. saved a 100 bucks just doing a little research. Be careful tho, there are a ton of fakes out there of just about everything, ask a lot of questions the legit guys will always answer them, there are a ton of write ups on how to tell fakes from the real deal.

You tried my SPARC. I figured out what issues we were having - someone kept pushing the button that put it into Night vision mode. So it appeared to be off even when it was on

trs25 came in today. here it is on my 15-22:
