I am wondering what type of sight would be a good addition to my gun. I am looking at the $500 class. I am an outdoor target shooter. My enemies are milk jugs, cans, bottles, and paper targets. This is what I am shooting.

What types would work best for me?

Aimpoint pro for $400 or wait for midway to do a sale on a T1 for $500.

Magnified I like a Vortex PST 1-4 for that price range.

Aimpoint PRO. Look all you want, that's your best value.

However: is that a Rock River? The reason I ask is because I have two Rock River Middy's and both needed a BCM BCG and a better barrel. If it is a RRA as I suspect, you might consider tackling function first.

IMO, You can't get any better than what you have on the gun.

But maybe it's just me...

Looks like an LMT to me but if it is a RRA I agree, Function first.

It's an LMT STD16.

I thought you had to be in LE to get the Aimpoint Pro. No?

I stand corrected. RRA is big into the Ergo grip, and they make a similar stock.

Apologies.

Like others have said the Aimpoint Pro in 2MOA would probably be a great fit for you. The micros are excellent too but a little pricier.

LE only? No?

Are some of the smaller ones like the Trijicon RMR of Leupold DeltaPoint not worth getting or not as good?

Not that I can tell. A few websites that list some items as LE/MIL only have pros available with no restrictions. Others may have more info on this

While very light, I find the RMR and others of its ilk to be too unforgiving of sloppy cheekweld (like when shooting from awkward positions).
Either Aimpoint Pro or keep an eye out for a deal on the Aimpoint Micro (I recently picked up a couple of Aimpoint H-1 Micros w/mounts from Palmetto State Armory's for $459/ea shipped and Botach currently has the Aimpoint T-1 Micro w/mount for $525 shipped).
