My opinion -
Best to Least Rifle Red Dot
Aimpoint T1/2 or H1/2 if you can't afford the T1/2.

Trijicon Acog
Trijicon MRO
Eotech E/XPS 2/3
Aimpoint Pro or any older Aimpoint
Vortex UH-1
Leupold LCO
Elcan SpectreDR
Holosun 510c
Older Eotechs 512/etc
Don't think I'd buy anything else for Rifle Red Dots.

 Wow.You have a very expensive opinion.

You got a nice rifle. My earmark for optics is usually around 1.5-2x cost of the rifle.  You can get a Vortex UH-1, Trijicon MRO, or Holosun 510c for 200-350.

But at the end of the day, you're only target shooting. Now if it were a service or hunting  weapon, that's a different story.

If referring to OP, Perhaps he stated that in another thread?

You can buy the rugged ridge of optics or the Metalcloak / poison Spyder. They’ve got it all whatever fits your want and budget.  Good luck.

the holosun has pretty good reviews.
I spent good money on the scope I use for F class. But this gun is just for fun, i wont be competing or doing any thing serious with it.
I really bought it because it was a super good deal.

Modded it slightly. 
As long as I can reliability hit a few hundred meters out, the scope hold up to multiple shot & not loose zero,  I'm good with buying a cheaper version if the price difference allows it.

Vortex is killer stuff. 90% of guys will never need a "mil spec" optic, even if they think they are tacticool enough to buy one. I run the shit out of my Vortex stuff with no issues whatsoever. My AK got knocked out of my truck Thursday and landed directly on the optic and I had a 300+ round class Saturday. We checked zero before class and it was still dead nuts. 6" plates on the move at 80-100yrds no problems, its a Vortex SPARC.

Biggest thing with any optic is your zero, finding your holdovers, and practice them.

What distance do you zero a red dot?

I typically start at 25 then move out from there and confirm zero. There will be a little vertical adjustment most likely.

Cool, who’d you train with?  I need to do more local.  Haven’t done any AK manipulation classes since I did one with Vickers 5-6yrs ago.

The last couple Ive attended were  @CETSUSA . They are pretty good and reasonable price wise as well. Waiting on them to schedule some more advanced stuff now.

@zrxmopar I also zero my ARs and AKs at 25yrds, then go directly to 100 and just pay attention to your point of aim/point of impact, should be very close.
