Is anyone here using a red dot sight - Page 2

I run an Aimpoint 9000 on my Marlin (45-70) and it works great.

Everything is relative, compared to an Aimpoint Micro, those PA red dots are cheapies.

I expect a tube type sight is where I'll end up, but I want something with a low mount, so I'll throw a TRS25 on for testing... then maybe get out my Christmas list and add something better.

They are cheapies--but I haven't had one fail yet (including on 45-70, AR's and magnum handguns). The TRS25's I've bought--all but one eventually fell apart under repeated use.

I wasn't knocking them, the TRS25s are cheapies compared to some of Primary Arms offerings... I haven't had one fail on me yet, but wouldn't be real surprised if one did.

I've been using a Sig Romeo 5 for about a year now. It's been running great with the low mount.
