Need a good fair priced red dot

[El Cid]

I ordered my Insight MRDS from Cheaper than dirt.

It now lists it as $386, but I swear I paid around $330 a couple weeks ago. Still, the best price I've seen for one. They typically run $400 - $500+.

Older model Eotech, or Aimpoint M2

Dont put a chinese airsoft optic on a gun that shoots real bullets.

This!

Take a look at the Aimpoint C3 as well.

and this.

I picked up both my H-1's 2nd hand for $425 each delivered.

See plenty of ML3's 4MOA for under $400 on forums too.

That's not much of a stretch past your $300 point and not nearly into the mid and upper $500~$600 range.

Save a little and check the EE for older M2s, C3s, and random deals. I would shy away from older EoTechs. Sometimes really nice optics show up at really low prices. I would definately prefer a used quality optic (we're used to it in the mil) over a questionable optic. Ultimately, it's your money and your life, I have no idea how highly you value either.
