Need input on a reflex sight

The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).

I got them. They are a bit odd - they have a boom mike and a plug for so

Another vote for Trijicon. I have a Reflex on my AR and really like it. I also like the lack of batteries needed.
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

I don't think you are going to find anything reliable in the $50-100 range.

Things start to get better at $175-200.

I can sell you a Bushnell Holosight quite cheap
If Yogi doesn't want it, I'll take it off your hands. I need something to put on the flat top AR that CC sold me a bit back.

I really like the Burris FastFire II I picked up for the Defender. It's small, light and unobtrusive, but still gives a good view.

I also have a Vortex StrikeFire, it's good, if a bit clunky. Sort of an Aimpoint clone. Their Sparx sight gets good reviews. I think both come with magnifier eyepieces that screw on/off.

The one that surprises me is the Bushnell Trophy 1x32 fakog sight. It actually works quite well.

I have Kobras and PK-AS red/black dots for the AKs, they're good for what they are, if a bit dated. One thing I've found with the Kobras and Burris FastFire--I prefer the openness of the holosights over the tube type red dots. It's like looking through a car windshield instead of peering through a tube.

I love my Strikefire. Great sight, bright dot, works well even with my horrible eyes.

Guys, I have to find it first - I'm not sure its what state its even in. (The last place I remember seeing it was in a closet, but the last thing I remember doing with it was shooting a nutria in TX...)
