An Alternative To The Aimpoint For A Tactical Rifle
Whilst Aimpoint and Eotech dominate the high end of the red dot sight spectrum, their sights command premium prices which not everyone can pay. There are a lot of reasons why a shooter would want a less expensive, but rugged and effective red dot sight. However, some of the low end red dots are little better than replicas that barely stand up to airsoft use and have serious parallax problems. I want to look at three quality red dot sights that are in the middle of the price spectrum, but not far below Aimpoint or Eotech in quality and which offer things that Aimpoint don’t.
The Vortex Strikefire is a 30mm body 4 MoA red dot sight that is clearly an alternative to the Aimpoint CompM2 and CompM3 (it has an NV setting that the CompML2 and CompML3 don’t have). It comes with flip-ups and a mount for Weaver and Picatinny mounting rails and bases. They thoughtfully provide a tactical version which is red dot only and has a mount that is the right height for a flat-top AR-15 whereas the hunting version has both red and green dots and has a lower mount suited to the scope height on hunting rifles and shotguns. Both versions come with a 2X magnifier to increase their versatility.
The Vortex SPARC is their competitor to the Aimpoint T-1 and presents a very credible alternative at much lower price. The SPARC comes with a Picatinny/Weaver mount and adapters that allow co-witnessing at various heights. It is also compatible with La Rue LT series mounts should your require quick detach. As with the Strikefire there is a single night vision setting. These sights are O-ring sealed, water, fog and shock proof and are recoil tested to 1000 rounds of .375 Holland & Holland. The good news is that like Aimpoints they are parallax free beyond 50 yards.
The Bushnell Trophy red dot sight outwardly resembles an ACOG and features a back-up open sight set up on top. However, it uses a dot in the middle of a T reticle which makes it easy to level the weapon and sweep arrays of horizontal targets. This makes it great for 3 gun competition and metallic silhouette shooting. The twin thumbscrew Picatinny mount is easy to mount and dismount and offers great repeatability. The Bushnell Trophy red dot is a very real alternative to the Aimpoints offering easy to use controls and great precision for a red dot sight.
