Okay... what's a cheap but functional LER scope or red dot? I'm not overly concerned with heirloom quality at this point. Boy wants crosshairs because he likes them, but a cheapish red dot would certainly work. Since I'm probably going to spend the dough for the ultimak that pretty much eats up the budget for the setup. I know it doesn't really make sense. But aving the mount fixed solely on the rear sight dovetail seems to me that it would place a lot of strain on that one point, and the reviews I've read of that type are mostly negative. So I think I'll get the ultimak.
BSA makes some really cheap red dots, don't they?
