Low profile variable zoom (1x to 2x or 3x) red dot?

44Danny · January 30th, 2018, 05:28

Hey guys,

I recently got into airsoft and currently building my "dream gun" and i need some serious help finding a sight.

I bought a KWA LM4C and slowly adding parts aimed to aesthetics mostly but also functionality.

I'm looking for some sort of reflex/red dot sight for my CQBish build. something that's not too long so it wont suit the 9' handguard and short barrel+suppressor but that has a little bit of variable zoom while remaining low to the rail.

does such a sight exist and also under $200 or $300 MAX

if this is "beyond the laws of physics" then what are you guys running?

Thank you very much

There are a few around like that. Look for "short dot". Barska, Visonking are a couple brands in your budget range.

Vortex and Primary arms have short dots that are around the 150-200 mark. They also have a phenomenal warranty, especially Vortex.

The only difference between the two, asides their warranty is their reticle.

The cheapest Vortex short dot type scopes (Strike Eagle) start at around $500.

You can get their crossfire-2 1-4x24 short dot for $350 from cabellas

Ah, I wasn't aware they made a cheaper line of short dot. However that one is still $390 before tax from Cabelas.

utg accushot from amazon is around 220 shipped when it's on sale. It's better than any visionking product in the low end of the price range. I used this scope for 3 years on my outdoor rifle, it just made the transition to the indoor carbine because I got a vortex strike eagle for the outdoor rifle.

Low profile variable zoom (1x to 2x or 3x) red dot?
