looking for red dot optic with magnification

[inline 6]

I have a Burris AR-332 on one of my AR's and I like it a lot. The reticle is very similar to the Primary Arms one. Compared to the Primary Arms if you opt for the $60 mount and $9.50 a piece for caps, the Burris comes with that stuff and can be found on eBay for only about $20 more total.

I did some shopping around on that burris ar332 unit and I like it a lot. But damn i did not want to drop $300.

Yea I have the Primary Arms M3 with the 3x flip-to-side magnifier set up. Its pretty cool to be able to use it 1x or 3x, but the extra weight of the mount and magnifier are starting to wear on me. Might be about time for an Eotech w/o magnification

I have had the PA 3x fixed scope for 6 months now and my review is...it looks nice pointing it at things around the house. I haven't had time to shoot the damn gun yet but if it is anything like my 1-4x PA scope I will be happy. The thing is pretty heavy but compact.

I stalk and hunt off of ATV/Gators. The weight will tire you out quickly so get a good sling or learn how to use one.

Primary Arms does not make anything, the scopes they have are imported from China. With that being said the owner turns down several shipments of scopes a year because he will only accept perfect quality. For people like me who do not need an ACOG and use the gun a few times a year then PA is perfect. If you are fighting then save your money and get the best.

Just saw the review for this illuminated scope

I got mine for $280 shipped off eBay last year (brand new). I don't see anything less than $300 now. It weighs 14 oz, so not bad compared to a red dot with separate magnifier.
Here is a review of it:
