OPTICS FOR ENTRY LEVEL AR-15

**MARINE DIVISION TWO** · June 3rd, 2024, 03:28 PM

Looking for an Optic that will Co-Witness with my AR-15 Front Sight and not looking to spend more than $ 150.

Try a Sig Romeo 5. Usually run around $100, sometimes less when someone has a sale. It is a red dot that will co witness and has shake awake. I'm sure someone will be along with something more exciting but it's a good low cost dot.

I've been considering the Cylee C10, they run about $83 shipped and I see the Romeo for $120+ lately.

I've been considering this not sure if it would Co-Witness on your upper but definitely not gonna break the bank + helping a fellow Member 🤗

I*ve had a Sig Romeo 5. Nice dot for the price. It would be a good option for you.

Don't buy a Sightmark anything.

My broke ass leaned a lesson doing that.
The fact that it was "just a range plinker" didn't make it any easier when it shit the bed after a few months of essentially no use.

For the amount you are looking to spend, I agree with the Sig Romeo 5. I have one on my Ruger PCC.

OP, Used HoloSun from TacSwap?

I’m just getting into $3k glass for ARs, but I have a Holo 503cu green dot on a backpack rifle that has lived up to all sorts of abuse.
I keep meaning to spend my meager means on something shrouded like an EOTech to replace the 503cu, but every time I actually train with it… it throws 77gr OTMs where I want them to land out of a super shorty folder type setup. Very surprised how well it’s held up..

Riton Optics Series 1 Tactix EED. Some Keys are lifetime warranty and 2 MOA dot with a total of 90 MOA of adjustment with shake awake. Veteran owned company. Cost a little over what you were looking to spend. $169 on Amazon. Nice product for the money.
