Sightmark Red Dot
I have been searching for several months now for an affordable but quality red dot/holographic sight for plinking and occasional hunt for coyote or bobcat. I know the Aimpoints and ETs are great pieces of equipment as I know people who own them and I have shot with them, but I really don't want to spend $400+ for something I may use 6 times in a year when the budget doesn't allow right now.
Is anyone familiar with this model? If so, would I be throwing money out the window or is a descent sight? The only thing that scares me is if I am reading this correctly, an 8 MOA dot? That's massive. Thanks.

I don't have any experience with the red dot you linked to but....I have several red dot scopes including Aimpoints and ProPoints.
I installed a cheap ATN http://www.red-dot-scopes.com/atn-ul...dtrxulstm.html on my shotgun and it has been great for the past two seasons.

Although I'm not sure, I suspect the Sightmarks are Chinese crap. If it's an 8 MOA dot, that's huge. I have a Burris FastFire on a Win 94 with a 3 MOA dot...that's adequately large (IMO).
