What is a good 2X red dot sight for AR-15 under $400 (including mounts)?
I did some research on the Internet but only found very expensive staff like Aimpoint or really cheap staff - Barska and below of dubious quality and nothing in between. There is a good value Burris that is $300 with mounts but that's 3X magnification, not 2X. There is plenty of options for 1X red dot sights but I am wearing reading glasses and ideally for short range need 2X. Thanks...
