Re: Red Dot sight question.
I was cleaning out literature from SHOT Show and found the Holosun catalog. They offer the reticle as well as the red dot which I prefer. Reticle option is there for those who prefer that.

Re: Red Dot sight question.
I’ve been an Aimpoint fan for some years. I prefer the red dot over the reticle, it so fits me. I especially like the Aimpoint battery life.
I was lucky enough to get to go to SHOT Show this year as an “employee”of a friend. Holosun makes a mini red dot with claimed similar battery life to Aimpoint. What was particularly interesting is that they have a model with a solar panel on top in addition to the battery. Theoretically you should always have a dot as long is there’s is enough ambient light, even if battery is dead. The neat thing is that the intensity of the dot adjusts automatically as ambient light changes. Bought my first one on Amazon for $170 and just received second one, this one was $150.
I’ve got the first one on an SBR that I shoot at local carbine matches. Several in my squad this month were also running Holosun. I’ve had no issues to date (hence bought the second one)
