I am considering getting a RedDot style sight for my AR after shooting a friends at the range today. Question is, which one? Make, model, manufacturer, ect. For now my primary standard is economy, and second to this is what will mount directly to my A2 uppers (Samsonite Handle), I have no need for A3 style mounts (Flattop).For further clarification, economy doesn't necessarily mean cheapest, but I really do not want to exceed $75.00 or so,....... or is it a folly to spend less than $200 in this area?Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

    Here is my 2 cents...I have an ATN Ultra Sight on my AR and it works great.It has 4 different reticles,dot included,and does what I want it to. Head up both eyes open fast aquisition and accurate to 100 meters.Beyond that the dot is covering too much of the target to get small groups. I didn't get it for long range target shots anyway,I have a .308 with a scope for that.You can find the ATN at numerous places for about $175.00 if you look. It all depends what you are going to be doing with your AR.

    The size of the "DOT" was one of my concerns, I saw one listed (Can't remember make, model, ect.) that had 5 or 6 interchangable reticules, looked like a pretty spiffy deal.I generally use my AR for coyote as well as target, (100M to 300M Std. NRA Targets & some 400M-600M B-26 Torso Silhouttes *SP*) and I would desperately like to shoot up some groundhogs if I can find a place to do so.C'mon guys, not that I don't appreciate 5db or bushy's replies, but, uhhh, ahhh...I KNOW there are alot more opinions on this board than 2!
