I need help!! looking for a decent holo or dot

[Moosehead905]

i dont have experience with either one but i am in the same boat and have been doing a lot of reading and reasearch and i have narrowed it down to these two...hope it helps..they both get some good marks and reviews for what were going to be using them for(15-22)

Vortex SPARC works fine for me....also used a C-more for while and it woked great for games.

It's looking more and more like I'm going to be grabbing a SPARC and a QD mount to share time on my 15-22. P-22 for bench/long range stuff and the SPARC for steel/shorter range plinking. The only think that I'm not too sure about is the kinda small tube size.

Unfortunately I think my TRS-25 is actually developing battery contact problems after only ~1250 rounds on my 22/45. The dot cut out at least 6 times in ~300 rounds at the range last night and would come back on if I tapped the side of the housing. Gonna have to try playing around w/ stretching out the spring or creative shimming tonight to see if I can avoid having to send it to Bushnell...

Ultra-Dot is probably one of the best red-dot sights for the money!

Copied from one of my earlier posts:

Have a look at this review before you make a final decision. I too was debating between the PA and the SPARC but then stumbled upon this nice little optic.

LUCID HD7 Red Dot Sight Review - YouTube

I have to say that I am very happy with it. Just the other day I accidentally dropped my 15/22 right on the Lucid red dot from about 5ft up onto the hardwood floor. I was devastated. However to my surprise it still powered up and held center. I can guarantee that the PA and the SPARC would not have functioned after that kind of a drop.

I also really love how you can change the reticles unlike the others. The 2x magnifier is also a huge plus for those distance targets (the SPARC has this also).

Finally, comparing it to my Eotech 512 that's on my M4 I'd have to say that the Lucid takes the cake. I like the 1 MOA dot of the 512 (compared to the 2 MOA on the Lucid) but other than that I'd prefer the Lucid. (durability, crisper RD, longer battery life, 2x magnifier, customer support, etc...)

Just my 2 cents (and no I'm not affiliated with Lucid in any way)

That's funny, I was actually just checking reviews on the Lucid based on the input of one of the guys at the LGS.

Looks like the stock mount is already supposed to be lower 1/3 co-witness. Is it QD or is there an easy way to mount it on an aftermarket QD mount w/o jacking it up too high?

Another thing to mention about the Spark is, you will have a tuff time locating batteries locally. I had to get mine off Fleebay. The on off button is easy to trigger in the case and it has an extra wide profile. So it dosn't diassapear completely when sighting.
