Jerry:Why not the best of both worlds scope and red dot. <BR>Hands down pick tasco optima 2000. Why? Dot 3.5 moa or 7moa Auto brightening lightes up when sun comes out dims if clouds come over NO switches for brite control, NO switches for on or off, and battery lasts up to 1 year. I mounted mine on top of my (ar-15 flat top) scope just ahead of the power setting ring (does not work as good if you have target nobs) its real sweet.Great for shots to close for scope! I make a mount for the scope if your interested total weight 4-5 oz. Mount & sight is $169.00 delivered Hope this helps gj.<BR> toll free 1-877-715-0600<P><BR> [email]moaAreloader.net[/email]<A HREF="http://www.moaammo" TARGET=_blank>web page</A>
