Looking for a reflex/ red dot sights for an AEG for in between £30-50. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to point me in the direction of any websites or your own sales threads aswell.

I understand your point Sacaranthe. I didn't really mean it as a "optic wanted" I wanted more advice on reliable brands etc. places to buy.

Although reading back it does seem like more of a "wanted" thread. That wasn't my intention.

Yes, I apologise, recently general discussion has been under siege from topics better suited elsewhere, I'm sorry taking that out on you.

In that price range, the brand names may vary but they all just come out of similar (or often the same) factories in china. Whether it says Nuprol or G&G or whatever, all just rebranding.

All the cheap EoTech copies I've tried have been really bad, same with all the cheap T-1 copies. Only decent red dot I've had under £50 was one of these I bought about 9 years ago:

Haven't used it much for a while, but last I checked it still worked. Only clone red dot I've ever had that had genuinely clear glass in it, no blue or brownish tint what-so-ever. Pretty durable with a well built tube as well all things considered.

G&P red dot or UTG ITA 4.2 are good.

For less than £50... I'd chance it with an aimpoint repro, I've bought probably 6 aimpoint T1 knockoffs over the last 4 years or so and only one is still working... BUT, it's still working after thousands of rounds on a TM MP7 which kicks pretty hard and the dot is perfectly clear.

Failing that, ironsights and point shooting.
