My dad has a stag arms ar15 and has a big scope on it and hates it. He wants a red dot or Something like it with minimal zoom. Maybe 100ish yards max. 

His birthday is coming up this week so I'm thinking I'd try and get him Something.  I'd like to try and keep it under 65 bucks if possible.  Should be able to mount to the stags upper rail. 

 

Thanks! 

$65? That is kinda tough bud.

Anything less is pretty much airsoft. Keep in mind the mount is not included.

 

Get him a Gift Certificate at OpticsPlanet, so he could either go with what you give him or could kick-in the rest.....

What's the standard optics you ar guys like?  

I like eotech and most in this board likes aimpoint. Youre looking at $350 and up with those.

 

For "budget" optics I would look at vortex and primary arms. Ive owned both and they never lost zero. Vortex has the best warranty in the business imo.

I have primary arms red dot and have no complaints. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another from them

I got a pa from a member here. Its used but I think he will like it.
