Looking for a good red dot scope for my 22 pistol. I don’t want to break the bank but I also would prefer a quality optic over a piece of junk. Anything around $100 give or take $20.

What are you going to use the red dot for? Shooting bullseye at 50 ft. might require a different scope than hunting squirrels.

No squirrels, just target shooting. Maybe I should get one that can be used for both?

I like the Millet SP-1. It's a 1" tube, 3MOA dot. Cost is about $90.
I recomend avoidint the sights with multiple size dots. If the knob gets bumped, it will throw the sight off.
The SP-1 has exellent optics and a very precise dot.

CDNN has a Hakko in their current catalog for 169, and I've heard they're VERY good - almost as good as Docter, but MUCH cheaper.

For about that price range you can get an Ultra Dot from www.larrysguns.com
They are used by many serious competition shooters and Larry is a great guy to do business with.
I currently have three and will no doubt end up owning more.:)

I second the Millet. I have an SP-2 on a S&W 686 with a 4 inch barrel and a B-SQUARE mount. Very accurate and no problems in 3 years and many rounds.

I have five or six Ultra Dots. Not a single one has ever let me down.

I have two Ultras but the best value is my tasco Pro Point 2. paid about $60 from Midway and the optics are absolutely crystal clear, and the dot is perfectly round and clear. I am having problems with the new UD's (trying to buy another one) and also Milletts having astigmatism distortion through the lenses. If you shoot with only one eye, no problem. two eyes and they will give you double vision.
I also ahve an OKO sighter which is very good for about $165 (rail sighter similar to hakko and C-more).

I have Ultra-dot and Adco. Adco has a much sharper dot.
