No nonsense (or batteries) 1x sight - Primary Arms SLx Compact 1x20 Prism Scope Red Dot Sight

Red dots were all the rage at one point. Now low power variable optics. The beauty of the 1x cyclops is it's robust simplicity paired with a recticle that provides a lot more versatility than a red dot. I consider this sight to be some of the best value for anyone who wants a reliable sight that doesn't have to rely on batteries to be effective. This could be used similarly to a red dot, without havingn to rely on batteries which automatically makes it a serious contender for anyone who is considering putting a rifle together and leaving it in storage for a long time. The ACSS reticle also allows it to be used effectively to gauge distances of targets that at 18" in diameter or 5' 10" tall. The flip caps are also a plus, I personally prefer keeping my lenses covered as much as possible, not having to keep track of a bakini cover is a plus.
