Hello All. I want to Red Dot one of the following rifles, need suggestions as to which one. The Red Dot will be a Romeo5, or Holosun equivalent (forgot the number), all rifles are M4 style, carbine configuration: 7.62x39, 9mm, the 556 can be a middy, or carbine gas. Sight in range will be caliber specific. Any suggestions would be great. All currently have detach Carry Handles, and I have rails for the handles if needed. Thanks

Aimpoint Micro T2 or Comp M5.
Edit: Also try looking at or posting in the optics specific section: https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/Optics-Mounts-and-Sights/18/ |

The Sig R5 and R7S are good to go, as is the Holosun 403/503 series. |

Thanks I suggest you just pick what you want and put it on a rifle. Caliber, gas system, barrel length, zero distance etc won’t matter. Buy it, zero it, and shoot it. It’s really that simple. There are already tons of threads discussing the same thing. |

Yep, the exact rifle details don't matter. Put it on whichever one to which you want to add the benefits of red dot shooting.

the holosun HS403b's are cheap enough to have one on each rifle.

If your guys have detachable carry handles mount the RDS to the receiver top rail.

Define the mission of each, and equip accordingly. A 9mm is a great candidate for RDS due to the range limitations. That said, I have a 2.5 prism on my 9mm carbine. My 9mm pistol has RDS.
I also have RDS on one 5.56 carbine, along with a 3x magnifier. There is no wrong answer. |

I have dots from Trijicon SRO to Burris to Holosun to SIG. I also have an astigmatism so they all look like shit.
That said, they are all functionally effective. They are not on any guns I am shooting groups with (except I zeroed a Romeo 5 today to about 2 MOA) so I just put the fiery spider on the target and send it. Zero problems with my Holosuns or Romeo 5s. Buy what you like.. I prefer “always on” but will take “shake awake.” Not a fan of dots I need to turn on. |
