I've got $600 and want a 1in scope w/dot reticle...preferably a 1minute dot... that doesn't way a ton. Any suggestions? powdr

Phone them, tell them you are a member of the 24hourcampfire, ask to speak to Doug, ask for advice and listen. 866-9optics.

Doug has Hawkes, many of which can be had with lighted dots. Some have extra crosspoints below the dot, some don't. I have an Endurance 30 8x56 and like it.

Be my pleasure to "meet" you and discuss options

I bought two of these, not bad scope for the price. My brother bought one and is also working out great on his MLer. We just bought 6 more.

I already have one of those on my 257AI but would like to try something different. The dot is a little bigger than I like. Surely there's something out there. powdr

Depending which koolaid you drink - Leupold has some Firedot options that do what you want. I use one in the Mark AR series; 1 moa green dot in the center of the reticle on a motion sensor, and they are a pretty lightweight scope. IIRC they're available in the hunting scope equivalents too. Dot can be either red or green depending on the scope.

Can't like the Trijicon's glass. powdr

Do you like Meopta glass?

Yes. powdr

Supposedly some of the newer Trijicon’s use Meopta glass.

I have no complaints about the glass in mine.

Why?
