best low profile red dot for rifle?

[AllenM]

I was not happy with this Russian optic even though it had good online reviews. I want to replace it with something quality that has a low profile without going to a RMR
Suggestions?

Talking about the one on the top

I'm going to get one of the new rmr style red dots from vortex for my PAP

While I can't say money is no object, it is not the main factor for this gun. I am just wanting to stay under the cost of an RMR

Look at the Vortex RZR. Comes with mount priced at 399

Looked at the Burris Fast Fire sights?

I think they're pretty tiny for a holo sight.

The Aimpoint Micro is currently the best sight for an AK, no question about it. Either get an RS Regulate mount for the side rail, or an Ultimak rail and qd mount. If you want to be able to see your irons through the optic, you'll either need a BOBRO, A.R.M.S. #31, or a factory LRP with the spacer removed.

And btw, those are some pretty bad ass AKS74U's Who built them?

Also, which optic is that? Pilade (I think I said that right)? If you want to stick with a Ruskie type optic, the PK-01V is fantastic. It sits low and centered over the bore, is reliable, and built like a tank. But I really prefer the Aimpoint Micro over it, solely due to weight.

Thanks,
A buddy and I built them I did the cutting and threading and he has the AK tools and head space gauges.

I dont remember the brand on the one in the pic and i don't have it in front of me. The only real problem I have with it is I can see a reflection of the circuit board in the window. and if I found one that sat a little lower that would be nice too

Thanks,
You guys have offered up some good suggestions. I am just busier then a ...well whatever. So I have not had time to follow up

Arms Unlimited has been running sales on the Aimpoint Micros here recently. H-1 for $500, T-1 for $570, and the T-2 for $625. I picked up a T-2 for my WASR and it's been amazing.

I would have recommended an rmr.... But had issues with mine. Which sucks for how expensive they are.... Still am a strong believer in aimpoints t1 /t2

Have you looked at the Bushnell TRS-25? They run about $100 new and have a very low mount making it real easy to do-witness on an AK or shotgun.

i had a hard time finding an affordable RDS that had a good quality. Ended up getting this rds and putting it on FN SLP, now I am not one to usually put a cheap rds on an expensive gun but, this one is a damn good value and quality.
