These are one of the top BFYB red dots (RDS) for an AR. Amazon currently has this for 38% off. No need to clip a coupon. I bought this Gen II for around $140 a month or so ago. Definitely a budget optic with certain limitations but it holds its own.

It does come with 2 mounts (riser and lower 1/3) and a battery. Vortex VIP Warranty. 150,000 hour life on brightness setting 3 or 4. Parallax is minimal. Build quality is nice. I wish the mount had a 2nd picatinny block or, even better, was a QD because this one has a little play before you torque it down.
Its rated 4.5+ starts with 1,900 reviews on Amazon. I recommend it at regular price so I'm buying a spare now (Christmas present for someone or just to keep for a future build).

The Sparc Solar is also on sale for 15% off but I'm pretty sure the price has been bumped up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SBZQ...PHKSWCD61Y

This is true. Optics Planet does however offer free "Value Shipping" with delivery in 5-10 business days.

The Romeo5 is more expensive than this deal. It's also got pretty bad re-zeroing issues. Shake-awake is pretty nice though. It should be a feature on all modern optics.

That pistol list is such a money grab and a violation of rights. Shipping to my other address!

It is $99 which is not that much more. I have stuff for a reason and won't have time to futz with turning on the sight in the dark if needed. If this had shake awake I'd buy instantly!

When it comes to optics on something you could depend to save your life … …you better consider the reviews … like the one that says you get what you pay for … yes VORTEX is respected (I use the high end stuff) … but buyer beware

Agreed, buy once cry once. I run an eotech and trijicon on the serious guns but these still have their place.
