Hey gang, just picked up a GSG-522 Carbine. What kind of optics are you guys using? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have some cheap POS reflex sight that says sig sauer on it.. I am going to put a Primary arms micro dot on it and call it done.

One of those cheap red/green 4 reticle pattern sights that are all made in China but marketed under many different names - if you pay more than $30 for it, you're paying too much:

I put some Fakeog (Acog clone) 4x scope I had from airsoft on my GSG522SD.  It's held zero fine and works well enough for the 5 years it's been on there.  Only downside is the eye relief is ...nonexistent.  It's a .22 so it doesn't have any recoil and doesn't matter that your eye is RIGHT THERE next to the scope, but that was why it wasn't mounted to an airsoft gun - couldn't use the damn thing with the goggles I wear.

 

This isn't mine (it's an airsoft one), but looks damn close to mine, minus the happy switch.

Oh, in that case I have a fake Eotech on my old airsoft MP5 I'll just swap it over hahahahaha

Primary arms micro dot. No need to spend a lot of money on it since it's just a .22. As long as it holds zero.

Damn, that's nice Lalo. Wish NJ didn't have this silly fixed stock law.

Lalo, does that mount allow you to use the irons?  If so, which mount is it?

Yes it does. I tried the sight without a mount first and the dot landed right on the front sight post ring so that was a no-go. Plus I couldn't use the irons with it. This mount raises the sight just enough so you can still use your irons plus the dot is not obscured. You cannot do-witness though.

 

Find it at Amazon - HOLOSUN AACW1.4 T1 Compatible Mount

Yea, co-witness on the GSG has been a holy grail that I don't think is achievable.

Or just a small step up, the Bushnell trs-25 would work well.

Yeah that's the POS I have.

Ohh it's definitely possible, you just have to spend $100 on a mount.

So is probably half its members. To me, it was worth the 1.25 hour drive from Parsippany to Easton.

Yep, me too...1hr 15min drive...like Lalo said well worth it. 

Yikes! I need to renew my membership.

I put that on a Beretta Cx4 to see if the concept worked. $19 well spent and the 9mm doesn't seem to effect it holding zero.

 

The only thing I'd critique for your application is that this red dot reticle is a bit larger than a .22 hole at 50 yards. Still worth it though.
