Thread: Red dot for a rimfire.

Whats a reasonable red dot type optic with a 2 or 3 ? moa dot for my little BL 22? My aging eyes are struggling with focus with the open sights. i dont really want to put a scope on it.

How much are you willing to spend? I use a trijicon RMR 3.25moa on my deer rifle, it’s very small and very natural to aim.
The aimpoint micro is also pretty good, but having had both I prefer the RMR

That Trijicon looks flash, but a bit spendy for a rimfire in the current climate.

Trs25,3moa dot,aimpoint micro clone but 1/4 of the price.i have a spare if you get stuck.mounts on any weaver or Picatinny base set up

That looks good, will it fit the 11mm rim fire dovetail? do you want to sell it?

@sneeze have you looked at the Holosun red dot sights?

I have one of these and they are rather good. The circle with a dot in the middle is good for running stuff.

still got my leupold for sale

This tiny Tijicon thing fits on a pistol slide. It over $1600 nz retail.
I would go Holosun or Leupold DPP for a rimfire

Forgot to mention (Enjoyed a few whiskeys last night) that I also have Trijicon RMR 3moa fake/copy off of Ali express.
Think it cost me $45 US. The outside construction looks identical to an RMR not sure on the electronics but it hasn't had one issue. Holds zero. Good glass. And has been working for 2 yrs with a fair few rounds and knocks on my wee Ruger MKIV.

It has the same footprint as the way over priced in NZ SRO above so when I get a chance I will mount it and see if it still holds up to a bit of work on a reciprocating slide with a bit more recoil. I wouldnt be surprised if it did.

Happy to send it up in the meantime to see if you like it.
It has a mount that fits a standard picatinney rail. Not sure if it will fit the small, is it an 11mm dovetail you get on a lot of rimfires?

I also have a SIG romeo 1 here with the similar mount that I got off beaker. Has a better feild of view and is a genuine model

You may need an 11mm Weaver rail adaptor. https://www.trademe.co.nz/2588778014 something like this, maybe... Cheap and nasty, but will probably suffice on a rimfire.
