Need input on a reflex sight

[Yogimus]

I am used to working with Aimpoint, but I refuse to pay 500 dollars for a red-dot reflex sight. I see SEVERAL for sale, for 50-100 bucks, and am looking for input on what kinds you guys use. (I value the opinion of the forum a bit higher than that of amazon reviews)

[Aglifter]

In the last 3-gun match I shot (last Sunday), most of us had an Eotech, but the consensus seemed to be that an Eotech was the best choice for a game reticle, but the battery life of an Aimpoint made it the best for a car/home gun.

A few guys were running ACOGs - IMO, the magnification gets too distracting, and I would rather have a magnifier.

I don't know anyone who's had good luck w. a ChiCom one.

If you need one to play with, and I can find it, I can sell you a Bushnell Holosight quite cheap - I liked the reticle design, but I only ever had them on my 22s. (Might not be a bad shotgun choice, though...

Link item, PM me price please. Would rather support the community over scheels.

/I KNOW this is not a sale site. I have been very bad, and am smacking my peepee ferociously in repentance.

When they are in stock, (Lucid gear says mid June) the Lucid HD7 is getting great reviews, and are listing under $200.00.

Oy. I like the Trijicons as well so... Meprolight? I think they have an entry version. The trijicon is what makes all the difference.

Not cheap, but I like the Docter red-dot sight. I believe the Burris Fastfire is very similar, and it is easier to get mounts for...

[Aglifter]

Docters are nice - mounts aren't too bad - JP makes mounts to fit.

I have a Docter as well, my open gun used to be a slide ride.

I don't remember why the lesser C-Mores run, but they are nice on pistols - they eat batteries, but it's a siz used in the military - no idea for what.

[Aglifter]

What do you plan on doing w the sight? (Why does that question fill me with dread about the response?)

One of my friends has a Leupold Delta sight on his carry gun, which has worked well for him.

I like the tritium/fiber optic sights for hunting, etc - the trijicon accuflex scopes are great, and you can get them set up for an AR w a true 1x... And that's what I think I want on my game gun, instead of getting a magnifier... Maybe

Docters are nice

Cheap knockoff version here.

That reminds me. Aglifter, did you ever find your DX "Sordin" earmuffs? Do they work?

I'm [strike]patiently[/strike] waiting for one to become available to put on my converted Saiga. Lots of good reviews. Mad Ogre has a series of videos about the Lucid.

The Vortex StrikeFire http://www.amazon.com/Vortex%C2%AE-Stri ... 831&sr=8-1 also gets good reviews around the web.
