E21A Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi, im looking for a holographic style red dot sight for my M4 gbb, any recommendations? Don't want to spend a fortune, less than £40 ideally I've seen a mini diva 551 on Amazon for £28, anyone have any experience with it? Thanks T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Prisce Posted January 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 6, 2018 @rocketdogbert is the man to ask, he has probably built more pistols with RDS than I have owned. EDIT: I read GBB pistol not M4, apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted January 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've seen reflex sights go on eBay for under £5 and they've worked just as well as any of the other replica sights I own such as the 551. I've been playing with the same ones for over 2 years now and none have ever broke on me. Then again I only own AEGs, so I can't comment on how well they perform on GBBRs. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. These optics aren't built to the same standards as real steel and I wouldn't be surprised if it craps out on you 6-12 months down the line. A lot of the cheaper ones are just rebrands made in China, so chances are this is exactly the same as all the other 551 replicas on the market.

Guest Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 ppt-outdoor or DHgate are the cheapest places for optics, but you can easily pickup any Chinese clone on eBay second hand for your price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you bought optics from there? Do they come with batteries? Is so they are bloody cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yep super cheap but no batteries in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangtight Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've bought Trijicon MRO clones off dhgate.com and there's been a battery in the box. Good little sights by the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted January 6, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 6, 2018 Be careful with really cheap red dots on a gbb as the recoil ruins most of them. You are better off spending a bit more and getting one of the cheap red dots made for real guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangtight Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The UTG 3.9" is a nice option. Good crisp dot. Tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah nice UTG do a range of decent cheap sights that are worth looking at if you can't stretch to Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangtight Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I've got two. One that randomly turns itself off, usually at just the wrong moment. And the other one changes colour when you use full auto. They sit in a drawer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 All of the clone RMR and Docter sights I’ve used on gbb pistols work absolutely perfectly, all of my clone EOtechs are too dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
