What distance are you wanting to shoot? If only CQC aimpoint. If you want close to four hundred yards buy Vortex 1-6x
following, I am up to my neck in close quarters combat
Trijicon MRO if you’re budget tight. Aimpoint T2 or Comp M5 in a Scalarworks Mount if you can afford it
Sightmark makes a couple of very nice red dot sights that are wallet friendly.
The wolverine is a dandy sight.
You did not say how much so reasonably priced to me is as follows. The 1x8 Razor, that's what I use on my 16" 08. Or maybe an Aimpoint COMP4 with a 6x magnifier. Have that on my 12" 08. To me reasonable it to buy once not several times. Heck the COMP4 was on an 08 that blew up. So good to go in my opinion.
I’m locked in some close quarters combat.........with my dick. It keeps popping out trying to pull security, I punch him in the nose and he just spits at me in anger
Hard to beat an Aimpoint red dot sight. Get the PRO if you're on a budget. I've heard good things about the Trijicon MRO as well.
The Aimpoint PRO brings an incredible value to the table. I have one on each of my rifles. If you can't find one in the current buying environment, I have a LNIB extra I can part with.
I have two Sig Romeo 5 red dots on range toys and they serve very well. But given a choice I’ll grab the AR wearing the Aim point PRO for anything serious.
OFG
I only buy Aimpoints anymore.
Are there cheaper options that may be about as good? Probably. But I certainly don't loose any sleep at night wondering if my red dots have had enough of a chance to prove that they work under some of the most extreme conditions and abuse.

Lower priced isn’t always nice
And might want to re-think what your posting here...
Thanks for the rough up and slap in the face to bring me back to reality. I know you guys are right as I have been sorry before trying to cheap out. Buy once is so true.
I run "cheaper" optics on my non essential guns, and I've been very happy with my choices.
I run a Burris Fastfire 2 on my Ruger MKIV pistol, I run a Primary Arms SLx Red dot on my .357 lever gun and really, really like that optic. For the money its my favorite budget optic. I've been hearing great reviews from some of the optics and scopes that Primary Arms has been coming out with.
I've been pondering about putting the Holosun 507k on my P365XL carry gun and it has great reviews at only $275-$300.
Keep in mind...you're not in combat. One of the main reasons Aimpoint and Eotech are combat optics is because of their durability in extreme conditions, but that doesn't mean other lower priced optics aren't just as reliable. You can still find great, reliable optics for a lower price point. And Aimpoints and EOtechs both can break or go out, or not work. We had plenty of optic issues overseas...albeit not many compared to how we treated them lol.
I'd say it also comes down to how you train with the specific rifle you're using for HD. If that specific rifle sits in the house, and you use a different rifle to do most of your training with then maybe you don't need a combat optic on your HD gun. If you train like a raped banshee in all weather conditions, then ya maybe the more expensive optic is worth it. I also don't lose sleep over not running an expensive ass optic, so as anything, get what you feel comfortable with
well that must be; it has been at least one decade i have seen one on a rifle.
