RED DOT on a 858

[cqb.ghost]

looking for advice from users with experience with the products... I want to put a red dot on my 858 which is the best out there I want to be able to clean my gun without looseing zero and something that is solid enough that it can be kicked around a bit.... What would you guys put on it?

I put an Aimpoint comp m4. It works good. Just remember to buy a quality handguard to mount it to so you don't lose zero.

I use an Aimpoint T1.

Bushnell TRS-25 on NEA railed handguard.

As noted in the previous couple of posts, go with an Aimpoint Micro...go with the H-1...no need to spend the extra dollars for the T-1.
Use one of the railed, upper handguard replacements and have the best of both worlds...reliable, return to zero, combined with iron sight co-witness.
You are stuck using the factory mount, but you still have the best of both worlds...red dot with no parallax issues...but also maintain use of the iron sights.

I have a TRS-25 on a NEA mount. No zero loss. Works great. Like the 3 MOA dot too.

They work so well, Troy Industries asked us for exclusive rights to NEA product in the U.S......... which obviously we hopped on like a fat chick on buffet, or armedsask on a fat chick, or Pharaoh2 on discount 2x4's when in the market for an extension for his existing 2x4 deck................. anyways, they work better then anything on the market.

if your looking for a micro, the vortex sparc is going to be hard to beat considering it retails for $230 and has more and superior features then any thing EOtech has to offer.

I have a TRS-25 on the NEA rail. It holds zero and returns to zero after removal.

I've never noticed any significant deviation from zero after reinstallation.

Is the NEA quad rail adapter ready yet?

its on hold as we plan to launch a complete quad rail before the end of the year.

Alright, looking forward to it. Got to get rid of the fab defense hand guard set.

Now that we have a steady flow of Troy rails we are tooling up and hope to have adapters on the market some time in late Nov.
Looks like MSRP will be around $350 which includes a Troy rail and the NEA adapter.

Burris fast fire works good.

Vortex Sparc

Marshal Law: Can you still use the iron sights with them set at 100m with the optic, or does it's base obscure the rear sight?

Awesome, can't wait to buy it.

I couldn't use the iron sights with my FastFire unless the rear was at 500m or more, IIRC.
