Looking for a red dot for my Ruger SR556E but don't want to spent a ton of money. Pref. less than $100 but not sure what will actually hold up. Heard BSA's are pretty good. Any advice?

another primary arms... about as cheap as you can get for a decent optic. if you wanna spend a bit more go with the vortex strikefire

I've had 2 Sightmark red dots, both were junk.
Really? I've not bought their red dots, but their magnifiers, and regular scopes are great quality and value. I assumed their red dots were also pretty good. Of course, you can't compare them to a real Aimpoint, since they cost less than $100. Most of their smaller red dots are rated 4/5 on opticsplanet. I'm curious how tradertator would rate the PA red dot, which probably has similar specs.
I had been debating the same things too... I wanted to see if I liked the Red Dot Set up before I invested more in an optic than the rifle itself cost.
So I ordered a PA Micro, and it should be here today. They have fast shipping, and so far they have been excellent to respond to Questions.
Is there a Gear/Range report on this yet? If not, I may have to take some notes this weekend when I get it all mounted and initiailly tested.
