Gen 4 Mos alternative optics

Post by kelevra » Tue Aug 02, 2016 1:29 am

I'm thinking about getting the 17 but the optics the (mos) models are restricted to are $300 ++ red dots.
I dont want to spend that much so I'm wondering if anybody knows if there is a more affordable alternative with decent
reliability that fits any of the plates? Any input with range or field experience with any of the reflex sights that are standard to the adapter plates? I appreciate any input

That's the best deal I've seen. Probably get closer to the lower 200's on sale. The review seems good and the company's been around for a while. Thanks for the info!

I was hoping the vortex would fit. I'm definitely checking the venom

I saved up for a while, sold a few things and bought a Trijicon RMR. VERY happy with it.

This is showing the Vortex venom, a 300 dollar unit on sale for $219. Vortex makes good stuff. And as far as the Trijicon, normally I'd go along with the old Chinese saying, "Always buy the best, only cry once." but I think the vortex is a good deal and I've always had good luck ordering on Amazon. One thing you never want to do, though, is order anything from optics planet. They had such a big inventory that the get confused very easily and screw up orders.
