Best Red Dot Sights

With the length of only 5.6 inches and the weight making 7.2 ounces, the StrikeFire 2 red dot sight is a superior option for the improvement of target acquisition speed and aiming accuracy. Let’s see what exactly makes it so good. We would like to start with its design and leave the optics aside for a while. This red dot sight is of the closed-type devices, i.e. the lenses and other components are safely hidden in a solid tube. The body is shockproof and waterproof, besides it is sealed and filled with the dry nitrogen to avoid fogging of the lenses in case of temperature fluctuations. The sight is reliable in use under any weather conditions and in any humidity. We must also mention the StrikeFire sight’s superb resistance to temperature changes allowing you to use it any time of the year. This Vortex product reliably performs in the range from -22 degrees to +140 degrees Fahrenheit. The Cantilever ring mount allows installing the sight on almost every gun, though it is particularly designed to fit AR-platform rifles.

It doesn’t matter whether weapon is only your hobby or you take it pretty seriously, you won’t do without collimating optics that allows for much more precise aiming and consequently shooting. The red dot sight by Primary Arms can be a good deal. At a price a little bit higher than hundred bucks it can be applicable in many different venues and for many different purposes, including taking photography from a distance. What we like more, however, is that regardless its low price, the device boasts pretty high quality. Being enclosed in a waterproof heavy-duty casing and with the caps on lens, it’s not as much prone to damage and can serve you for years. The device works off a single CR2032 battery and can operate for around up to 50 000 hours in save mode. Impressive, isn’t it?

The great Einstein has rightfully said once: “Everything should be made as simple as possible!”. This may be applied to the Bushnell TR-25 red dot sight. The main reason to buy this device is its design and top quality guaranteed by the world’s leading brand. You can see it yourself, in more than 70 years of the Bushnell’s history, the company has become the global leader in manufacturing optics and other accessories for active sports and hunting. The Trophy TRS-25 sight is one of their masterpieces which combines the best time-proven achievements. Let us take a closer look at this red dot. It is only 2.4 inches long and has the weight of 3.7 ounces, though it delivers the full-size performance. You will always see the target clearly and sharply. The 25 mm lens with 1x magnification features the AmberBright optics that focuses your view to 22 mm exit pupil and provides the maximum accurate picture of the target. It should be mentioned that the optics is multicoated allowing you to acquire the target in low-light conditions. The fragile interior is securely protected by the shockproof casing. You should take into the account that this red dot is an active sight, though it consumes relatively low power. To make it really weatherproof and durable, the Bushnell designers made it 100% sealed and filled it with the dry nitrogen to prevent fogging. One more proof of Bushnell’s readiness to accept the full responsibility for the quality of its products is the peerless No Questions Asked Lifetime Warranty, provided for this red dot sight.

The beauty about the Burris 300235 collimating optics is its small, miniature size that allows its mounting on any weapon with the Weaver Qwik-Point and doesn’t block the field of view for a user. You wouldn’t use it for long-distance aiming, yet, it would suit great for most other tasks when you need to keep focused on some objects in front of you. The device is made of lightweight material sealed from all sides to not let the moisture in and backed up with Burris Forever Warranty that proves to show the quality build of the device.

Probably, you would like to improve the quality of your shooting and the target acquisition speed in particular. But if you want to save some costs, the Dagger Defense DDHB sight is the best choice for you. Besides its affordability, it has some advantages that you will definitely like. Its body is made of the aircraft-grade aluminum making it extra durable and lightweight. This red dot sight features a wide vision range (16 x 100 yards) that is very useful for tracking a moving target. The sight allows you to adjust the windage and elevation. The shooter can choose among the red and green dot options; both dot colors have two reticles with four different designs. Note that you can switch from the dot to the crosshair if you want. The sight has the base compatible with the Picatinny rails and its ergonomic body is so small that you can easily mount an additional magnifying optic. It is designed as an open holographic device. The sharp dot of the holographic sight made by the reflected laser beam is clearly visible under any conditions of the ambient light right in the center of the reticle and it moves with the motion of your eye. Yet it does not overlap with the target and distract the shooter. The beam is visible only to a shooter and can not be detected even by night visors.
