I ended up buying 2 of the circle-x scopes. I figured for $20 each how could I go wrong. This will free up the red-dot from an AR and a red-dot from my 30 carbine so both of those rifles will be able to be used to their full potential. The red-dots will now go back on top of my marlin 60 and Taurus pt99. This will basically let me have low magnification on everything I shoot for accuracy and quick aquisition on the guns I shoot for fun. And if I never grow to like them, they can be moved along their way later at a very slight loss.
