Looking for a cheap red dot

If you go cheap, try it out in person and make sure it's parallax free. Nothing worse than parallax.

not to call you out, but there is no parallax error on a 1X optic.


even on other optics, the error is so small it has little effect except at relatively long ranges.

Midway has this BSA sight on sale for $30 - normally $99.

There is one huge difference between the Aimpoint CompM3 or CompML3 and the knockoffs - battery life. The Aimpoints electronics mean battery changes every 5 years or so if the sight is left on 24 hours a day. The copies also are prone to fog up, and can be ruined by rain.

I am looking for the same thing, and was wondering what you all thought of this combo:

This mount and either the red-dot above or the other red-dot that I've been looking at.

Any feedback is really appreciated!

I have a $30 BSA on my 10/22 and it has been just great. Very accurate and durable. I don't shoot this rifle in the rain so that's not an issue for me. Leave the sight on, however, and your looking at a dead battery almost overnight.

The Simmons Red-Dot that Cabela's sells is pretty good. I picked one up at a gun show for $30 a while back. It's on top of my 10/22 right now. Fun!
