Inexpensive red dot

Judging by your user name, we may be about the same age. I used to own a 62 Rambler.... also had a 64.

I thought about the tritium but at $60 I wasn't sure. I did see some cheap colored nylon posts. $6. I thought about getting a pack of those to see if they worked. I figured if they worked the tritium would also.

I've seen some sight paint listed here somewhere but lost the link. Might have been glow in dark, not sure.

Bass Pro shops now carries Vortex for anyone interested. Unfortunately they didn't have a 1x4 nor a SPARC.

I looked through a $99 Bushnell 1x4 and that was not promising at all. I hope the Vortex looks a lot better.

Thanks for the heads up on Bass Pro.

Walmart has Glow in the dark pain in the models (cars, planes, etc) section. About $5, but it will last forever, since you only need a dab on the front site post.

My dad had a Rambler as his first car. Sorry, that's all I have to contribute to that part of the conversation.

Vortex is a good company and for an inexpensive unit I would go with one of their offerings. I would personally just save up $360 for a new Aimpoint Pro. I think its the best buy out there for sure.

Buy once, cry once, I agree with the other poster to stick with irons until you can get a good optic.
