Rifle Scopes small red dot

[ak0prter]

Im looking for a red dot about the size of the cheap bushnell or ncstar that looks like an oversized doctor. I have looked some at the burris fast fire but it looks like it will be to small to mount on my ar and also that it wont line up with my iron sights. Dose anyone have a sugestion or a comment about any of the sights in this category? My rifle currently has an EoTech on it, but im building another 6.8 upper and plan to put the EoTech on that. Im just looking for a smaller lighter but still reliable red dot for my 5.56.

Thanks for any help

Aimpoint H-1 would be my first inclination. I think theres one for sale in the optics section.

I have the Aimpoint T-1. Traded out my Eotexh for it.

Trijicon RMR or the Leupold Deltapoint are options. I think the Deltapoint is good value for money.

Not to hi-jack but a question to go along with the OP.

I am also in search of a dot optic to mount on my latest AR. It's a 14.5" LMT upper sporting a standard FSB and LMT detachable rear site. I'm looking for something that is high enough and use as co-witness while keeping it simple & reliable.

OK, carry on.

If you have the coin - T-1 (night vision compatible) or H-1 (no night vision compatibility) with/without a spacer:

Running low on cash? Bushnell TRS-25

I have the TRS-25 on my AK and absolutely love it. Especially for the price. It doesn't have the battery life of an Aimpoint (3,000 hrs on level 5 with 1 battery while aimpoints is like 50,000 or something ridiculous). I'm not in a combat zone, so replacing a battery is not a big deal. And 3,000 hours is more than what my eotech can do... Aimpoint makes a great product, but for the price of an H-1 (cheaper of the 2 Aimpoints) I can buy 5 bushnell TRS-25's and still have some left over to buy dinner for the wife. Or if your worried about battery life, you can buy 450 batteries with the money you saved. 1,350,000 hours of battery life... Enjoy!

I wish I didn't love the eotech reticle so damn much...

You can get the FastFire to the appropriate height with this Burris AR mount:

Also, it has small compartment tray that holds an open end wrench and a Torx wrench.
