Best budget red dot - Atibal AT-MCRD PRO Micro Red Dot Sight

For the price it can't be beat, and if you're only using it for target shooting it's a no-brainer. Might also be decent if you do casual competition shooting but I can't rightly say I'd know. The fact it uses commonly available AAA batteries instead of those small circular ones is also another point in its favor. When it comes to cons the only one I can note has been echoed by other people who have said the knob you turn for brightness is *very* tight; almost too tight. It's probably the only thing you'll end up cursing if you use this sight, because it certainly won't be the price.
