Riton 1 TACTIX ARD 1x Red Dot $39.99 before tax, but shipped free. I have no idea how well they work, or durability, but it's tempting a bit. icon_eek

Does it have a low mount? Got a 22lr this would probably go great with.

You do realize Toyota has 4 assembly plants in China and they source OEM Chinese made parts for the US market too, right?

Since you drive one, it's a fair comment.

Would Vortex be a better option? Yeah, many are Chinese as well.

I get hating buying anything Chinese, but when you call people out for that make sure your hands are clean or you just look like a hypocrite.

These sights are pretty much bottom of the barrel trash, IMO, about equal to "Monstrum Tactical" or whatever other cheap $20 Amazon red dot you can find. It's probably a decent optic for an airsoft rifle, maybe a .22 LR but certainly nothing more serious than that.

Berelli offers Riton's low end RMR-style red dots occasionally as well, and they're even worse - the little LED emitter isn't even covered by it's own little window, so it collects dust/lint/etc.

YMMV of course, but hopefully this saves someone from thinking they're getting a great deal and getting took.

I just think it gets old.

He continually pounds out his hypocritical screed on his Chinese-made keyboard.

None of us chooses to buy Chinese, and many avoid it when possible, but he wants to be the arbiter of when it’s okay, and when it isn’t.

Enough already, everyone gets it.

My biggest gripe, other than the hypocrisy, is that it will inhibit folks from posting their deals, because they don’t want to deal with being flamed.

We all have some experience with firearms. You get what you pay for. Don't expect in 2023 to buy a $40.00 red dot sight and expect it to perform like a Eotech or Aimpoint.

There are times when the situation as it occurs, dictates the course of actions that follow.

"I stand for the National Anthem, always have, always will"

On days like this, I often wonder what Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart would do...

I bought a cheap Chinese red/green dot sight off Amazon a few years back and put it on a kick around AR9 Pistol and it works great. Held zero and always works.

The rest of my Red dots are all Vortex, not sure where they are made though since some Vortex products are Chicom too.

The description says, "it comes with a lower 1/3 co-witness QD mount and a flush mount..."
So, maybe?
