Best "cheap" red dot?

[GhostTX]

Just wanting opinions on an inexpensive yet good 1x red dot sight. Aimpoint Comp M4s is nice, but I don't want to spend that money...maybe 1/2 that.

Any thoughts? Aimpoint PRO?

Vortex strikefire and magnifier or vortex sparc.

I've read several places that the Strikefire is very dim and not really usable in bright sunlight.

No such thing as inexpensive & good.

Yeah m4s. Is to fucking expensive. You can always by an M2 from ebay. I did I love my M2.
also if your not planning to deploy from a submarine. At 500ft deep. Lol. Then look into the ML3.

You said cheap, vortex fits that bill.

Just looking for an open eye (parallax free), from the ready to aim, fairly rugged sight for an *gasp* AR-15. I'm looking for $400-ish and under in price. I'm a cheapskate, so the cheaper the better, but good. Also, would prefer a standard AA, AAA battery or CR123 lithium.

I found this deal online:
CompML2 with mount and accessories. Price $450 +tax

Will have to read up on that one.

For ur budget. You can pick up a new aimpoint. From swfa

I have been considering the Burris AR-332 3x-32mm for my AR-15. List price is $481 but you can get them in the $320 range so it seems like a steal for a magnified red dot.
They seem to have great reviews but looks like they are backordered everywhere right now.

I picked up an eotech 512 for $290 brand new in the box.

i bought a $50 centerpoint red/green dot from wallyworld. it's not bad but it's on my 10/22 though.

i will throw it on my AR once my upper + pmags come in monday to test out.

Yep. Exact reason I sold mine. I never even mounted it after I got it and powered it up. I do most of my AR hunting in bright daylight and no way in hell that would cut it.

Non-direct sunlight it may have been OK.
