So you are in the market for a red dot? Well, it’s not as simple as telling you which is the best red dot sight to buy, or you wouldn’t be on the hunt!

There are many red dots available and while we won’t be able to give you a simple: buy this sight for your gun.

We will provide you with unbiased feedback on as many red dot sights as we can get out hands-on. This post will be forever updated and changed as optics are introduced and/or discontinued.

We want to keep you up to date on red dots because we LOVE red dots.

Best Budget Red Dot Sights

The internet is full of financial shamers. What does that mean? Post your budget AR build in an AR-15 Facebook group, and you’ll immediately be called poor.

That’s stupid.

Lynx Defense is a premium gear manufacturer and what some would call expensive.

But we will never insult someone for buying what they can afford. We hope it’s our products, but we want people to love firearms and gear as much as we do at the end of the day.

People have families, and money doesn’t grow on trees, so obviously, you want to get the most bang for your buck out of whatever you buy, including your gun’s red dot sight.

Let me be clear there is a difference in quality budget red dots and cheap red dots. We will not be including any cheap red dot sights because they are not quality optics.

So let’s dive in. These will not be in order, so read through each one and determine what’s best for you.
