looking to see whats out there for under $50 that would be used for daytime shooting so it would need to be bright. red or green would work. close range shooting only. needs to mount to dovetail rail
I bought this Tru Glo Model: TG8030B2 red dot from a buddy in the unopened package. Don't know who he originally purchased it from. He sold the gun he was going to put it on. I tried it on one of my pistols for a while but the dot was a little big for me and I didn't care for the sight too much. It was a little heavy on top of the weight of an IZH 46M pistol so I went with a smaller, lighter AT3 Tactical unit.
Now it's just sitting here on my shelf without a home. "New" price anywhere from $50 - $80 depending on the seller? I'm ready to part with it for less if you might be interested. PM me.
I've had a Bushnell TRS-25 on my 3 gun 12 ga for several years and its performed consistently. Only drawback is its a little unfriendly on battery run time but other than that its a decent dot for the $$$. I turn it off between runs and I get 3-4 months run time. Not bad but compared to several years run time from my Burris FF3's 5+ years run time isn't a fair comparison. But the TRS25 is 1/3 the price of FF3's also so I guess its all relative.
