Good inexpensive red dot sight for a Ruger Mark III?

Featured Replies

Hey guys,

 

Can anyone recommend a good, affordable, red dot/reflex sight for a Ruger Mark III pistol? Something for $100 or under...

Have a look at Primary Arms. I bought their Aimpoint T-1 clone with QD mount for $118. It's cheaper with the standard mount. It's pretty decent for a cheap optic.

I have the Primary Arms M3 clone red dot for my AR and love it.... I'll check them out for the smaller red dot. Thanks.

put a primary arms green dot reflex sight on a browning challenger III. light and easy.

Looks like Primary Arms is out of stock on a lot of stuff, including the reflex or red dots I'd want to use... dang...

The Bushnell TRS-25 is pretty similar to the PA Micro red dot. This does you no good, but a few months ago you could pick them up for 70 bux with a $30 mail in rebate, which really made them a steal for .22 applications. Sadly, they're in the $80+ range these days.

NJdiverTony where is the diving pic taken? I am a diver also and Noticed the Doubles. Is that Tri-Mix your huffing on?

 

Hey there! :-). That picture was actually taken in a quarry, in Pennsylvania. Yep, you're right about the doubles... Steel high pressure 120's with Nitrox. I've taken several tech diving courses but have chosen to stick with Nitrox for my recreational diving, which is usually off the coast of NJ on the many wrecks we have. I've looked into rebreathers in the past but the risk kind of turned me off. I knew a couple of people that had fatal accidents using rebreathers, so since I have a wife and kids now, I play it safe and stick with rec diving.

 

Where do you dive?

Ultra-dot, or the similar Millet.

I put a TRS-25 on my Mark III and it's working out great, so far. Nice little sight for the money. I really liked the Burris FastFire III with the custom Mark III mount that Burris makes for it, but didn't like the cost ($250+).

The Ultradots seem to be really popular for Bullseye shooting, but the darned things look so bulky.

Awesome! Cave diving is cool... I've done some Cenote/cave diving in Mexico... and loved it. Haven't made it up to the Great Lakes yet, but plan to eventually... there are some great wrecks there.

WHOA! Ultradot's reflex sight goes for $300? And it gets terrible reviews.

Yikes.

 

I'd try to find the Primary Arms reflex sight. I read somewhere that they are getting new stock this month (august).

Or, the Burris Fastfire as a much more expensive 2nd choice.

I used to have the Primary Arms Micro Green Dot Reflex on my mk2, mounted in the rear dovetail using the burris fastfire mount. Excellent sight at about $75. Perfect sight picture for steel and obrams. I found a used burris fastfire2 (about $140) to replace it, and now that PA sight is on a 223, it holds up extremely well and maintains its zero perfectly. The Burris Fastfire2 is a red dot, and a sharper dot compared to the PrimaryArms.
