I want to add a red dot to my Browning Buckmark .22
I already purchased and installed a rail to replace the rear sight on this pistol, now I just need to decide what to get. I have been shopping already and see that there are many red dots below $100, this is about what I am willing to pay for optics on a plinky toy. This pistol will be used for general plinking/target practice, maybe to slay a squirrel or rabbit on occasion.
What features make a red dot more functional on a pistol?
Most are either 20 or 30 mm, what will be more advantageous for me?
Do I even want a red dot? What other options are there?
Any first hand info on brands is helpful!
