Best red dot tactical scope

[Harly0368]

I recently aquired a sig 556 It has a very inexpensive red dot scope on it, I am looking for the best red dot scope with magnification for my money, What does everyone think it would be.

Sounds like you want an Eotech with flip 3x magnifier, but it can be very pricy ~$800

There are a lot of threads dedicated to this topic.

Trijicon TA44SR-10 ACOG

or
Trijicon TA31F ACOG

You didn't mention a budget. They can range from a couple hundred, to $1500 (the Trijicon ACOGs) and on up from there.

Check out Vortex optics. Good glass, reasonable prices.

I'm an Aimpoint fan. GGGAZ.COM usually has a package deal on them.

None of those ACOG's I mention are $1,500.

To me, "red dot" and "tactical scope" are oxymorons. To me, a scope means magnification. To me, a tactical scope means ACOG. And to me, red dot means Aimpoint or Eotech. Or a compromise is the eotech or Aimpoint with a magnifier, as was mentioned in the very first response. Without your intended use or budget, your question is lame and too broad. You will get no "good" answers to such an open question.
