Budget AR Red Dot <$400

[BamaSE]

I envy y'all, I wish I could use a traditional RD, but with astigmatism I get a starburst dot and it's hard to be precise. The Primary Arms etched reticles prisms have worked great for me. I have a couple of true 1x - ** LPVOs and they have been great but lack any illumination and are regulated to range/hunting.

I have awful astigmatism too. And just about gave RD up until I looked thru the Eotech EXPS2. Works great with a clear reticle and no starbursts or comets. Have an Aimpoint and Sig that are okay. But Trijicon and Leupold RD are a no go, especially as the brightness cranks up. No problems with my Trijicon LVPOs illumination tho.
