Red Dot For Mini-30 TRS25 OR FFII

[Steve Janes]

I want to try a red dot sight on my mini-30 I got a tapco stock on her already, should I go with the Bushnell TRS 25 1x red dot, or the burris fastfire II???

The TRS is a 3 MOA dot and the Burris is a 4 MOA dot, I have no idea which one to get help me out guys!

Buy the one with the smallest dot. A 3 or 4 MOA dot will cover the black on a regular sighting in target at 100 yards. Not exactly good for even remotely accurate shooting. Even with a Mini-30.
Aimpoint makes several 2 MOA sights.
Bushnell makes one with a 1 MOA to 10 MOA variable dot diameter. Model #730001. Mind you, the MSRP is $394.95US.
You'd need a special base for the Burris FastFire too. Not likely to be a big deal though.

gg&g makes a mount specifically for the fastfire to mount a mini

I love the small size of this setup and the way it preserves the compact and handy nature of the rifle. The dot is a bit big for extended ranges but then again the rifle wasn't exactly designed for that purpose as many can attest to.
