Only hits count......you can not miss fast enough to catch up
I guess one important question to ask that no one brought up yet is how is the rifle going to be used? This should help dictate what kind of optic to get (or if it's even necessary to get one).
For quick shots, the choices mentioned above are superior.
If you want to be a cheap ass, avoid Chinese knockoffs. The lowest I would go is the Bushnell Holosight ("Lite" Eotech) made by L3 here in the states, but I don't even know if they're discontinued or not. I have one, but they're not as rugged as the Eotech 5XX series, but for casual shooting/competition, it's sufficient. That said, I wouldn't put that particular optic through hard hard use.
For a serious/work rifle, get the best options you can. You get what you pay for.

Back when I was a teenager my cousin and I would shoot mice in my dads shed( 15'x20') with airguns. It was full of junk and with the single light bulb in the center there was endless shadowy spaces.
It was fairly fast shooting as when the mouse would stick his head out in the light you only had a split second to shoot. We both were using open sights with equal results.
I talked my mom into getting me a cheap Bushnell 4X scope. There the results changed. Instead of waiting for the mice to come into the light I could see and shoot into the shadows. We ended up having to take turns so my cousin would get a chance to shoot.
I imagine it would be the same for a dimly lit house, the only difference is it wouldn't be mice you were worried about.
Nevermind.

Can anyone recommend a good light to go with a DD offset mount? I've been looking at surefire, but there are so many of them to choose from. I'm thinking an LED would be more what I'm looking for as I already have a regular light with a built in rail mount.
