Looking to add a higher quality red dot/optic to my AR15. Only used for home defense, range fun...etc. Not looking to get in to competitions or the like but I definitely want the ability to shoot with both eyes open. I have done quite a bit of research here and other websites of lesser quality but I value the opinions here above all else.
Here is the short list that I have been looking at...ideally would like to keep around the $500 range. I have owned a couple of lower end red dots and would prefer to subscribe to the buy once, cry once strategy.
EOTech 518
Aimpoint Pro
Trijicon MRO
Trijicon RX30
Vortex Strikefire II
Vortex Sparc II
Was hoping for the local experts here to give some advice, comments, opinions on which they think is best of this list - or of any that I may not have on the list. Appreciate your time in response - even if you have already answered the same question from other members previously and are rolling your eyes right now!
