What's the difference in this optic vs the StrikeFire Red Dot (SF-BR-AR15)? It looks like this is a 'sequel' but curious what the difference is?

I don't remeber the model #'s but the newer version of this red dot has the controls relocated. The old version was in a bad spot and would get turned on while not in use killing the battery. The new model has the contols in a better spot. There is also a new version with the new control placement and comes with a cantilever mounting bracket. Hope this helps, sorry I don't know the model #'s but I can tell you I love the one I bought, it's the new version with the cantilever mount. I have it on my AR and it's awesome, no where near the cost of an Aim Point or Trijicon. Easy to pick up, quick on target and so far no issues I've run probably close to 2000 rounds through my AR since I put it on.

I am not sure but this one has both red & green dot retical. I like this option for both day and night. Hope this helps you.

They are both cheap red dot sights. Unlimited eye relieve and your field of view, well its a red dot sight with no magnification so that is on your eyes since its not changing the magnification of what you are viewing. This seems more at the height to cowitness with iron sights on an AR platform and it has the lens covers which are nice.

Dave, as far as I know the sights have to be for your specific weapon. I purchased one for my MP Shield. Personally, I didn't like it at all, aim point sucked. it's a fixed sight. Had to aim way high to hit my target. Looks great though..Removed it immediately when I got home from the range.

I used both on my rifle for about a year. Seemed to sight in just fine. I was even able to co-witness through my Vortex Strikefire. But I never took it hunting so don't know how well it does there.

Ya know, you gotta weigh out the differences! If $30 is all you can spend, then the UTG isn't bad (I guess) (I own it, and I'm not very impressed with it....but you get what you pay for) The TRS-25 is completely worth it! The guys at the range mentioned they had the UTG and were complaining about how LARGE the "dot" is in the reticle. The TRS-25 is a MUCH smaller dot allowing higher accuracy at the same given range. Just my $.02 Take it or leave it. Later... -Korie G.

Not red dot. It has crosshairs with distance compensating lines. I recommend this package. I'm pleased with mine.

I haven't run the Burris 200437 on my AR so it is tough to day. I have read great things about it though. The Leupold VX is a great "red dot" optic for mid range.

Hi.When you search in amazon, they show you 4 model of the same reddot scopes but whit different prices. so I think this is the model 3022. the Price of mine was $ 29.99. Regards

Hi, did you wind up buying this? If so, did it fit well on your scope? Is it better than the awful red-dot finder that the 114eq comes with? How much so if it is? Is it worth getting? Or is one of either the telrad or reigel reflex sights a better choice for the 114eq?

I suggest you visit a gun dealer and let you try both, I find target acusistion faster and the adjustment for the red dot is very easy to adjust while you're on target. But tr both.

The $99 one is a red laser, and has less visibilty in full light of day than the green laser. I personally used this one at 100 yards in full light and saw the laser on the target with spotting scope. I have used the red laser and it can be hard to see at 25 yards in daylight. The $99 is also smaller and doesnt always fit the end of the barrel snuggly when using the proper ring for your caliber of weapon. One other thing i have found the green laser to be highly accurate and with the red i have had to make adjustments when shooting at target after boresighting with it.

I didn't realize you were asking about this specific "Strikefire" mount. The email didn't specify the exact item of your question. For the Strikefire Cantilever Mount here is info direct from Vortex:Provides extra rail room for rear Back Up Iron Sights (BUIS) when using the StrikeFire red dot along with the VMX-3T magnifier. The cantilever ring will move the StrikeFire forward about one inch.NoteProvides absolute co-witness mounting height of 37 mm. Will work with most 30 mm red dot sights.Thanks!!

I highly recommend the orange front sight post. I have multiple sets all in orange and it really Jumps out at you when you are looking for fast acquisition. As to the other question point of aim is point of impact. It's is a large front sight post so your basically putting the center of the post where you want to hit.

I purchased the red/green dot. The green dot is easier for me to see on some of these very bright Arizona days, especially if your target has a red or orange center. Brightness settings work for both.

the scope will take u out as far as the gun can shoot-- moa is more about the shooter than equipment-- now a good trigger or sight helps alot-- as far as the red dot-- i never intended to use it over 50 yrds - just quick acquisition-- i like mine-- just make sure u turn ur red dot off or ull loose ur power lol-- i bought one for saiga and another for ar15-- hope u have fun with urs

This is the MIL-DOT one!!! It's a little confusing because the product description says Rangefinder reticle but no it's really the MIL-DOT. I do know that NcSTAR makes both a MIL-DOT and a Rangefinder reticle Mark III, I actually have both. If your looking for the Rangefinder one, It's the Mark III P4 Sniper that your looking for.

There's no difference in brightness, and the SFRD-AR15 gives you more options for different terrain and lighting conditions, so why not go with that one? Some people only need red I suppose, but I think the model with more flexibility makes sense. I've had the red/green for 2 years, and I have been very happy with it's performance.
