Who makes a good economy priced red dot?
« on: March 22, 2009, 10:41:29 AM »
This is probably in here somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look. I recently bought a S&W .22 pistol I want to mount a red dot on. Do any of you guys have any experience with a red dot costing under $100 that's worked well for you?

I put a $30 Simmons on a Winchester 94 in .357. Never had one before so I did not want to spend much money until I decided if I liked it or not. Has worked so far.

i agree troyboy. wanted to try them. limited uses for sure. wish there were more small scopes for .22s. something that doesn't change the balance of a .22
every day is a gift. use it well
