Yep, if you absolutely must compromise on price look at the high end Russian stuff. It's solidly built if a little "klunky" & "bulky" , with a "rough" finish compared to Japanese & U.S. products, but at least you're getting your money put into the guts, not the cosmetics. Service & customer support. What service & customer support? Though!

Here's my "Kobra" a nice Russian built unit that's held up to a lot of full house 7.62mm NATO load in a FAL (which is famous, or infamous?) for being hard on optics. It'll save you a few bucks over Eotechs & so on. If you look around you can find one for m$250~$300. It comes with 4 built-in reticules, (dot, chevron, dot over chevron or open "T"), & 11 light levels with auto-recall on all settings. The pic earlier was taken through this sight.
