Not a red dot, not a scope, but something in between - Vortex Spitfire 1x-AR Prism Scope

This is a very interesting little optic. It has a reticle you can see when power is off (or battery is dead). When power is turned on, the "circle, circle, dot" reticle can be lit green or red. Although it is not the perfect "both eyes open" optic, since it is 1x power you can shoot with both eyes open if desired. Like the title says its not really a red dot and not really a scope, it is something in between and I like it. The only somewhat negative is that it does have more critical eye relief distance than a red dot style optic.
