Truglo red dot for $100?

Good deal? Or no better than the PA M3 clone?





Cabela's -- Truglo® Red/Green Multi-Reticle Sight

The only truglo stuff I've handled have been junk. Airsoft quality.

The PA stuff is good for the money.

Walther makes good cheap, functional red dot's. So do Tasco, Burris, Bushnell, Redfield, etc, etc, etc. Tasco pro-points are under a hundred bucks, and i've hunted with those in the field. You'd be ok with one of those...

They make a variety of models in the pro point line. Just get one in the $100 range, and you won't get hurt.

EDIT: This one is $130 at Wal Mart:



This one is $60 bucks at Amazon.com:


Both are Tasco Pro Points, either will work, but the one for $130 is clearly nicer.

prob be ok for small calibers. doubt it'd hold up to rifle recoil in the long run.

Keep in mind that AR's barely kick at all.

I had a tasco propoint on my .44 magnum Blackhawk for a couple years, it held up just fine.

my friend has a truglo very similar to that one on his crossbow. believe it or not, a x-bow kicks pretty decent. he mounted a surefire light to the rails, and the recoil kept destroying his bulbs. the truglo never missed a beat.

i was suprised.
