Best red dot/CQB optics? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I'm trying to finish my SKS project before I start anything else. The next step is optics. I don't have bunches of $$ to throw at this, so I'm looking for the best sub $100 optics.

What have you guys used that you really like?

If there is nothing sub $100 that you trust, then where can I get a good used optic that won't break the bank?

I'll post pics of the SKS project as it gets more underway.

Ive yet to see a reddot under $100.00 that I would want on a gun. But the propoints are probably as close to what your going to find and be reasonably suitable.

Thanks for turning me on to the Tasco Propoint 1x32 mm red dot. I think that may be the winner of my sub $100 contest (I found it for 99.95).

Question: is 5 MOA pretty standard? If my understanding is correct, that dot will completely cover 5 inches at 100 yds. That seems like a big dot.

Second question: what have you heard about Barska stuff?

5 " at 100 yards is correct. Thats a decent dot for CQB work and still ok for 100 yards for battle work but not target shooting.
I know nothing about Barska.
