scope inquiree

[Ray 1]

On a 223 what red dot scope would you recommend. As I have never used a scope before I could use a little help.
Thank you.

When you say red dot, do you mean a holographic sight? If so Eotech is the way to go.

Aimpoint

For holographics, yea EOTech all the way. Sightmark makes a decent one for around $150. Same thing, just not mil spec with aircraft aluminum and all that jazz. Have one on one of my ARs. Fired a ton of rounds with it on and have no issues with it losing zero or anything else. Aimpoint makes a good straight up red dot but they're just as expensive as EOTech. Again, sightmark has a decent red dot for around $80-100. I don't really like red dots, but it's personal preference. If I'm gonna put a sight that needs a battery on one of my ARs it'll be a holographic.

If you've never used a red dot, it'll better for you to get something like a sightmark or BSA or something like that to put on and get used to the feel and everything before you go drop $800 on a red dot or holo

Aimpoint Micro T1 is the cream of the crop of RDS.
an H1 will be a tad cheaper, major difference is its not NV compatable.

if you're on a budget, pick up a much less expensive vortex.
It will help you w/any learning curve.

I have a Vortex red dot on my AR. It's good and doesn't cost $500+...

Primary Arms red dots are a great starting point. Like the others have said you can always upgrade later.
