i've been looking to put a red dot sight or scope on my hi-point carbine, its a $150 gun so i dont really want to spend a lot on a scope/red dot. i've been doing some research on the net and it seems like almost nobody has anything positive to say about most of the entry level optics on the market. i've been looking at bushnell, simmons, tasco, bsa, and several other brands, do any of these companies offer anything under $100 thats not total junk? all i need is something for occasional plinking would something like a 4x bushnell sportsman be ok?? i know the saying "you get what you pay for" but i find it hard to believe that all these companies would still be in business if their products were as bad as some people claim. any help would be much appreciated.
