Red dot , but need more
So Im looking to put a scope on my AK. I want the easy use of a red dot but want to still be able to use it if the batteries die. So It needs to have crosshairs as well as illuminated dot or whatever. Anone have any suggestions? Not looking to spend alot but want both options.

There are a few tritium laminated dot sights out there, but they will cost you.

Re: Red dot , but need more
I am not too familiar with the AK, but i know many people with AR setups will have their steel sights line up with the red dot so if the battery fails they will still be able to use the steel sights. That may be an option to allow you to pick up a decent red dot for cheap. I got mine for about $100.00.

Something like this will allow you to co-witness your irons with something like an aimpoint T1:

This is the setup that d90king has on two of his AKs. I've shot one of them, it was fantastic. Very nice setup and very accurate.

Why not this one. The price is right, and if it fails, throw it away.

Re: Red dot , but need more
ive owned one of those simmons. I had it on my Ruger mark II pistol They are decent , but I want something that I can also use the iron sights on as well. Red dots always seem to run out of battery just at the wrong time. Im thinking of a cantelever mount and a smaller red dot. Im waiting till the cover with the rails get here ( hopefully today or monday) then I will decide on the scope.
I just finished the stock of the MAK-90 its going on. I made the thumbhole bigger, gave it a much lower profile and a pronounced cheek peice. I also added finger groves to the grip and then stained it all ebony. Ive got two coats of tung oil on it now but have company comming so had to stop. Monday Im going to do the fore peices in ebony to match.No longer posting
