Cricket .22 Red Dot
I want to put a red dot on my daughters cricket. Do you guys have any suggestions what to go with? It's just a cheap little 22 so I want to stay cheap but I'm not sure where to start looking.
Yes I know that most people train their kids with open sights before moving to optics. I have considered this and that is not the way I have chosen to go. I want to keep her interest in shooting then I will teacher open sights down the road, so please limit responses to the main question, what red dot sight would be cheap and work on the cricket. JP |

Tasco and barska will be worth a look. Saw a dot at walmart for under $35.

Wally World is your store,,,
I put one of their $35.00 Tasco (maybe BSA) red dots on a 702 Plinkster,,,
It worked just fine and is held it's zero,,, What more can you ask for? It's now happily mounted on a Beretta U22 Carbine,,, Same good performance as with the Plinkster. Aarond .

Yup I just ordered the scope mount and the BSA red dot for both my sons and my daughters crickets. I hope they work.

Tasco makes one with the .22 mounts already on it.
