Just looking for some opinions on the best budget minded Red Dot type sight for my AR flat top. I know I cant expect much in my price range (100-200$) but was wondering if anyone had some suggestions. I looked into TruGlo red dot both open and closed type but heard alot of people had quality issues after a few hundred rounds.

I'm happy with my Bushnell TRS-25 and I've read of many others happy with their Primary Arms. Even with a flat top you might want a small riser.

Vortex Sparc. A little over $200, better quality than most of the budget red dots, excellent customer service.

Check out Primary Arms. I just picked one up on the recomendations of many people here. It seems to be pretty well made and fuctions just fine.

Thanks all for the recommendations. I will look into each of them.

gun tests did a test of dots at $50 and under. they were impressed with all of them, including BSA, tasco, and a more expensive bushnell at 100

I have this one which I prefer because I don't really like the single dot. I usually use circle/dot or cross/circle.

 

Otherwise look on ar15.com equipment exchange.

eBay, there is one now, that's the only place I found.

Be careful buying ANY optics on eBay. They are awash with fakes. Make sure you buy from a very reputable seller.

 

I have 2 Vortex Strikefires. But both have seen very limited rounds downrange. The Lucid HD7 gets rave reviews. But it's been out of stock for a few months now.
