gr7070 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Can y'all recommend a decent red dot at a lower price? I'd like to pick something up that I can mount on a Ruger MkIII and swap to a S&W 627 should I feel like it. Any suggestions? Anything that this complete newb to optics should know before wading in? Thanks in advance! Edited May 1, 2012 by gr7070 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbeck76 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I like my Bushnell TRS-25. I have it mounted on a 22/45 and it has been great. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of these basic forms, with an intensity switch that goes to 11. I went with Bushnell because they had a rebate offer that accidentally applied, I wound up getting it for $40. If I had been sure the rebate worked I would have bought ten of them. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrider Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I picked up two Burris XTS-135s for $119 ea from Midway back around Christmas. So far so good. But beware, I think that the matching mount weighs as much as the scope! I stuck one on my 6" 686. It's a main battle tank now instead of just a light armored personnel carrier.

birdzman Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I have been very happy with the Vortex Sparc red dot sight, holds zero and not over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
