The thread about Hawke scopes got me to wondering what some folks think about red dots. I've never been thrilled with the idea of some of the real expensive models, Aimpoints for example. I'd love to try one but can't afford one. I tried a few of the cheaper ones, Tasco and Bushnell. They weren't that good. I tried three Bushnells in a row and they all failed. The dot wasn't clear and defined, either. They flared out. Then I tried a very economical TruGlo. The plain $50 30MM model. It was the only one that I could find that had a lifetime warranty and at that price I figured I wouldn't lose too much if it didn't work. It worked perfectly and is still doing so seven years later. Between the wife and I we have five of them now and they all work just fine. One had a loose feeling adjustment knob. It still worked but it had slack from one click to another. I called TruGlo and they told me to take it back where I purchased it and they'd exchange for a new one. They did. No questions asked. I've had them on several real kickers, too. I had one on a Contender .45-70 and one on a .45-70 rifle. No problems. For my money they are a good product. They're guaranteed to stand up to anything up to .50 caliber and have a good lifetime warranty. What's ya'all's experience?
