So I'm trying to pick a red dot for my GHM9 that will be coming on my next epic canoe trip. What I am trying to do is pick a decent red dot for it and was wondering if any of you have put one on or pros and cons to each. not looking for cheap necessarily but quality. This is not a cheap rifle so don't want a $100 optic...

Any suggestions from the gallery ?
 
I really like my holosuns
Have a few on different guns 9mm,762x39 and a 20 gauge semi. All seem to hold up well
 
Well this makes me sad cause I was wanting to grab one of these... if you want a straight red dot I’d go Aimpoint Micro H2, if you want a retical the Vortex Gen 2 Ugh-1 is amazing. If you want some magnification I’d highly recommend the new Vortex Spitfire Gen 2 prisms (even though they are 556 bdc). Got the 3x and it’s now on my 45/70 cause I couldn’t get one of these. Also have the 5X on order with already having a venom sitting on my bench. That will be going on my RDB when it arrives.
 
Thanks guys, will peep both when I get a moment. Kind of like the idea of some magnification. Kind cool if it doubles as a red dot too...

Have you thought about an illuminated low power variable? 1-4x or 1-6x. They add weight but you can run them almost like a red dot if you shoot with both eyes open plus you have magnification for longer shots.

Is it for that NR barrel version?
 
For a canoe trip you would need something of enclosed design. Holosun makes decent red dots which are not too pricey and reliable. Same with Sig which looks to be made in the same place as Holosun

It is for the N/R version, yes. Preferably something compatible with NVGs as well. Forgot that snippet, oops.

I run my PVS-14 single tube NOD on my left non dominant eye. I find it hard to use my NOD with my optics (PA 1-6X) because I can't line up the two tubes. I find it better to use an IR laser on the rifle with the NOD.
 
I've had a few vortex and holosuns, recently bought a Primary Arms SLx MD-25 with ACSS reticle. Very impressed. I sold my other dots cause I only really needed one and I liked it better. Big clear glass, crisp reticle, and came with low, cowitness and 1/3 witness riser mounts. Cost around $300. Worth a look. No flip-up caps available however.

Hi Leigh.

Just found this (Falke LE Gen2 Red Dot Sight) on sale,$299 , at a CGN business site.

Seems interesting so I ordered one.

Interesting review on youtube by LowReady Media.

Good luck on your quest.

I have a Holosun HE510C in green which I have on a Kriss Vector. Not a top shelf optic by any means but it does what I need and fits the bill. The big circle reticle is very useful for quick target acquisition.
