August 27, 201115 yr 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?
August 28, 201115 yr 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
August 28, 201115 yr One of the members here (RayRay) has this Burris on his CX4 http://www.burrisoptics.com/xts135.html and it seems to work well Yup, co-witnesses and is a good quality red dot.
August 28, 201115 yr Lots of discussions of CX4 red dot sites at the Beretta long guns forum too: http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=69874
August 29, 201115 yr Haha, OP stated specifically: looking for an affordable red dot for beretta cx4 storm, I like those aim points but they are so expensive. 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.

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..
August 30, 201115 yr Someone on Brian Enos' forums is selling a Vortex Strikefire (BNIB) for $125... http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=135093&pid=1519660&st=0entry1519660

That is what I meant. I would buy used and get a better optic.
September 1, 201115 yr Vortex SPARC - $200'ish for a good quality red dot. I have it on my AR. 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.
September 2, 201115 yr I remember that - They were out of stock when I was looking. It may be easier to get now.
September 2, 201115 yr 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.
September 2, 201115 yr 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.
September 2, 201115 yr Author lookin at these 2 walmart specials, got a gift card and wanna burn it, which one do ya think is better... http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bushnell-Trophy-Red-Dot-Scope/15235459 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Barska-1x20mm-Red-Dot-Riflescope/15042115
September 2, 201115 yr 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.
September 2, 201115 yr PA and Vortex SPARC are both top on my list if I choose to go with an affordable non-top tier manufacturer alternative.
September 2, 201115 yr Author 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.
September 3, 201115 yr PA and Vortex SPARC are both top on my list if I choose to go with an affordable non-top tier manufacturer alternative. 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
September 3, 201115 yr 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. parallax.... high end optics FTW...
