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.

from the reading ive been doing about these you can still use your iron sights with them.Last edited by riverpirate; January 22nd, 2010 at 11:15 PM.

I picked up a Bushnell Trophy MP and am very happy with it. It also has built in iron sights on top. I installed it with look-through mounts and can use the iron sights on the AR if desired.

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