I am looking for help on a red dot sight. Any good suggestions for under $150. I already have a flash suppressor and a grip pod. Can't decide on sights, a little help would be great.
A thread already going that may be usefull:

I can add you will need some way of getting the sight off the flattop either by rings, risers or a handle with a weaver attachment. So it can be wise to look for something that doesn't require expensive mounts.
Both of these places offer good sights for lower prices compared to the high end stuff.

Imo stick with non magnified red dots that are 1x magnification, It makes it easier to pick up moving targets and gives a wider field of view. If you need magnification i suggest a scope personally.
Ive used cheap $30 Tasco's a few times that are the 30mm variety and pretty much do everything a $150 sight will do, I don't have the best eyes so im limited too 50 feet no matter if its a $30 sight or a $400 sight.
Im in no way saying a $30 sight is better, Im saying with crappy vision i cant take advantage of the improvements the $150 sight gives.
On a separate note i built one of the homemade bull barrel/fake suppressor thats in one of the other threads here. It was cheap and easy except the auto parts stores here only stock 1 package at every store, I had to hit 3 stores as i have plans for a second one.
It really makes the gun stand out nicely when lightly sanded and sprayed with a flat matte plastic specific paint.
It should have been noted that the 1.5" pvc was sink pvc not the heavy duty thick walled stuff i bought first, Luckily i tried to fit the bushing once i left the store and got into my car so i could get the correct one immediately.
