[QUOTE="dwkennedy, post: 2076045, member: 1717"] EDIT: I see you want it specifically for the AR15. You probably want a riser mount, so I wouldn't get the Bushnell TPS-25. I would get a aimpoint clone like the Primary Arms. PA is out of stock at the moment, sign up and get notified. I would not get a cheap mount. The ADM, daniel defense, and LaRue mounts are great. Be sure to get the correct one for the primary arms red dot, the base on the PA red dot is a little thicker than the real aimpoint so it requires a different height mount to co-witness with the irons. 2nd edit: Don't bother with the cheap flip magnifiers. Lower-end scopes can be useable, cheap magnifiers not so much. years later you won't remember what it cost... you will never get over a optic that isn't "good enough" to meet some minimum level of workatude. --------------------------------------- original Bushnell TPS-25 is a good unit. They were $80 from B&H photo video recently. Only problem, if you leave the power on, you will have a dead battery in months. They're fine for a plinker, maybe even hunting if you carry a spare battery. If somebody was shooting back at me I'd want an aimpoint Micro T-1. The Aimpoint micro battery will go something like 5 years. I guess that's what you get when you pay $600. Fortunately, I can go weeks at a time without someone shooting at me. Thousands of weeks, to be exact... [/QUOTE]
