Hey, I have a cheap red-dot sight that works OK indoors or in low-light conditions, but I cannot see the dot in bright daylight. What types/brands of red-dot or reflex sights are good enough to be seen in daylight and what will it cost for that priviledge? Yes, it's for use on an AR-15. Thanks |
| Eotechs are great, but for about half their cost you can get the quite serviceable Bushnell Trophy MP. I have both and I like both. There is a reason the Eotech costs much more - it is a quantum leap in functionality - but the Bushnell is really a damn good red dot. |
Please tell me you're kidding. The aiming triangle is yellow, and washes out easily at night in areas lit by amber sodium lights, and will disappear entirely if you use a weapon-mounted light. It also washes out if you/the rifle/the optic are in the shade and your target is in the sun. No one recommends this sight for real-world applications. When it first came out, it was an official military-issue optic, but they've long-since been replaced with vastly superior technology (AimPoint, EOTech, ACOG, etc.). -Troy |
