hey everyone, im looking for a red dot sight to put on my upcoming AK-74 rifle... i have decided i am going with a side mount, either midwest industries if i go with an open style red dot, or the RS mount if i go with a tube style red dot
so... id like to know whats available around the $100-$200 mark, and whats the best option in the up to $500 mark (aimpoint, eotech, trijicon, etc)
how important is battery life?... i know the aimpoint will last 50,000 hours it says.. which is 5 years if left on.. thats truly amazing.. but honestly... who would leave it on for that long?...
so.. im looking for a sight with the common features, adjustable brightness, different reticles would be cool, but if i had to decide i guess a 2-4MOA dot would be good too.. and ive also considered the russian PK-A sight and the kobra
what is important to me is durability, something waterproof and shock proof as well
so... what are your recommendations for my criteria?
