Looking for AR15 Red Dot for around $100

[fireferret2650]

I do not have a riser yet, just a stock AR15 (DiamondBack Arms). What do you recommend?

 

[Dawico]

Primary Arms is probably your best bet right now.

Sight mark wolverine has been my go to.

I like my Swamp Fox pistol red dot a lot.

Liberator red dot sight 1x22

The Liberator is a super compact, highly accurate Point-of-Aim Red Dot Sight. A clear 1X magnification with three bright reticle options allows for lightning fast sight picture acquisition with both eyes open. Light weight but tough, it is engineered to withstand 800 Gs of impact. It is...

i bought a CVLIFE sight that has red/green with dot, cross and diamond for each color for my AR on amazon for $30. I need to get a riser still, but at first glance its just as good as some of the $100+ ones on the market

I bought the same sight
Amazon product ASIN B00A36MKUOand it works pretty good. I like that it is red or green dot.

yes.. thats the same one... i mounted it on my rifle, but i didnt site it in yet.. i want to find a riser first. but its more detailed than some of the ones selling for $200-$300 on other sites

Mine sighted in right away and works very well. My AR was a Colt 6920 with a carry handle. Took the handle off, put the red-green dot on and happy with it. I always liked green better than red in a sight. I don't use a riser.

Ill try it on mine first before buying the riser then.. I have a Talon Gryphon 16" Carbine, but my rail seems lower than the S&W i had. Took me about 6 or 7 runs to get my site done on that one and never seemed to hold after a few range outings. always spent more time resetting my sight than i did actually targetting... lol

Man that's a bargain.
I thought I got a good deal on my Holosun red dot a few years ago (bang for buck) but this one is just priced ridiculously low to not try out. Does it hold zero even after shooting rounds through it?

My thoughts have always been; "Buy cheap, get cheap"

 

[pronstar]

Sig Romeo 5 seems like a strong choice in the $120-ish range

Long battery life and motion activation are nice features that it has.

I still haven’t gone to do it. But all the reviews I’ve read on it are really good

I bought a cheap ($50) one off Amazon for my first AR. After half a magazine it stopped working consistently, and I ended up buying a Vortex Crossfire for about $175 I think. Should have saved my $50!

 

[TreyG-20]

I'd go with a Holosun 403. I've owned the PA Advanced Micro, Vortex Sparc 2 and Sig Romeo 5. The Holosun IMO is the best of the bunch in the sub $150 range.

Same as a Sig Romeo 5...

My Romeo 5 died unfortunately. It was great up until then. I think the Holosun dot is just tad sharper. Didn't have a chance to compare side by side though.

ya. i figured its worth a shot. mine was only $35.. the worst thing that can happen is it doesnt last and i lose the $35. I was pricing some of the other options and i just cant fathom $150-$200 yet. but i like the options this has with multiple colors and grid types.. Im hoping to set mine this weekend. But I had to order binoculars for viewing the target. I could let the range set it for me for $60, but i want to try and do it myself first.

Vortex Venom and shop around they can be had for $100 +/- or so. I haven't had any issues with mine.

I have used many like- Aimpoint Pro, Aimpoint Comp M2, PA micro, TRS25 and Romeo 5.
But In the price range of $100-130 the Romeo 5 is my favorite - simply for the push-button controls, Motac feature, and battery life.
