So, I have $225 (and NO MORE) to spend on...well, whatever. An XBox is a possibility, but I'm such an addict when it comes to firearms that I'm considering a red dot sight. The sight will initially go on my FAL, but may later be mounted to my AK or even my MkII. $225 is the absolute maximum I can spend. I already have a rail for my FAL, so I just need base and rings in addition to the sight. Here's what I'm looking at so far:

Millet red dot
Leupold Gilmore (comes with rings)
Hakko
EOTech
Bushnell Holo

Are there any others I should look at? I'd really like an Aimpoint but the money just isn't there (birthday gift from the family). I did a search, but I didn't really find the responses I was looking for. Suggestions, comments, reviews? Thanks guys (and gals).

For half that amount you can have an Ultradot, and spend the left over $$ on ammo!:)

It is nearly impossible to go wrong with an UltraDot. They're really good. You should be able to find them from 115 bucks or so on up.
