Red Dot

[Hi5]

My eyes tell me that I now must improve my sighting equipment.

I want to be able to switch my sight from a rim fire to my crossbow. I need good, clear, bright optics. I'd like a red dot reticle, with adjustability of brightness. I'm willing to pay good dollars to get a good quality product.

What make and model would be best for what I'm looking in the way of performance?

Most to least expensive

Eotech 512
Vortex sparc
Bushnell trs-25

Burris fast fire maybe as well. I can't speak for aim point.

Aimpoint would top that list as far as quality and bang for the buck goes. However, for your intended uses, the Burris is a solid compromise.

If you have astigmatism you might not get a good clear round dot. I must have mild astigmatism because depending on the environment my red dots can be less then perfectly round and more star like. I don't find it to be an issue but some people don't like the fuzzy misshaped dots.

Have you tried a red dot before?

I have had great luck with Bushnell TRS25's, but absolutely love my Hensoldt red dot.
