| what would be a good optic to put on my .22lr dedicated colt m4 ops? something under 200 dollars that will hold zero and can be seen really good on a bright sunny day. I dont want to spend a whole lot of money on an eotech or aimpoint sight. I may go up to 300 dollars if needed bad. |

Lots of Aimpoint clones available. Many are well under $100.
You'll need a higher mount if you want to leave the iron sights on the rifle. There's a Quick Detachable high mount available for these, but I just have the standard version.

You might try Optics Planet or Midway
http://www.opticsplanet.com/ http://www.midwayusa.com/ I buy from both places with absolute confidence. OP gives free shipping on most items, and has a huge selection along with a buyer's guide. To make shopping easier for folks on a budget, you can select your price range. But remember, you get what you pay for; don't expect an optic selling for $300 to be competitive with one selling at $1300. If you can, start haunting the local gun stores and TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! What looks good on the net could be a disaster in your hand, and horrible to your eye! Good Luck! There are lots to select from. |

Primary Arms is a site sponsor (they heve have a sub-forum in Industry) and the reports I have read on here are good enough that one of their mini red dots will be my next purchase.
I currently have a .22LR AR15 conversion SBR with a Fakepoint off eBay in a real Aimpoint mount; it was garbage with the airsoft mount that rattled loose under the mighty muzzle blast of a .22LR, but in a real mount it's actually a good optic. It will hold a zero and does well overall. |
