Dot Rifle Sight Scope
Dot Rifle Sight Scope
What is the best scope for the price or red dot sight for an AR-15?
I don't want to spend more than $200 on a scope or red dot site. I want to know which is proven to be the best site and value for the money. Should I get a site or a scope? Please provide information of pros and cons to both and any information you may have on AR-15 type rifles.
The rifle I will be mounting this on is a Bushmaster M4A3 with the removable carry handle.
Bushnell makes some fine and quite affordable scopes and electronic red dot sights that work great for AR-15 type rifles.
For a scope, a 3-9x 40mm Bushnell Trophy is a good choice.
For the electronic sight, the 1x 32mm Bushnell Trophy MP electronic optical sight would work well for you.
Each of those have a price from the Natchez Shooters Supply website for less than the $200 you have budgeted for yourself.
I use a custom built Les Baer AR-15 for hunting coyote, and I carry both a scope and a electronic sight that are both equipped with quick detachable mounts during my hunts that allow me to quickly switch between the 2 as needed.
I use the 3-9x 40mm Bushnell Trophy that I spoke of earlier for the scope and a EOTech Model 557 Holosight as the electronic sight.
Granted, the EOTech is priced quite a bit more than what you stated you wanted to pay, it is a superb electronic sight and is in current use by the military.
Obviously, the 2 sighting devices are meant for different applications. The scope being for more distant targets and where bullet placement is more critical, and the electronic sight (being that it has NO magnification) is intended for relatively close targets that need to be engaged quickly.
The electronic sight can be used day or night and the scope is only useful during the day.
If you decide to buy one or both of these then the iron sights don't really need to be retained, so the only real modification to the rifle that I might recommend would be to replace the front sight housing with a aftermarket gas block so you don't have the front sight tower in your sight picture.
It's not critical that you do this, but many people find it distracting to see the front sight there too while viewing the target through the scope.
The last website link that I provided has a wealth of information concerning the AR-15 rifles.
Good luck and good shooting -
