Last one did well, so let’s try again.
You know the drill: ask questions, maybe get serious answers.

Cheapest red dot?

Cheapest MBUSSET?
where to buy. prices.
Cheapest Red Dot that's worth anything is the TRS-25 by Bushnell at less than $100 usually. It will work, hold zero, but won't win you any friends at the range.
For a few dollars more the SIG Romeo 5 has a much longer battery life and shake-a-wake tech on it.
I ran the TRS-25 on my Stag Model 3 for years until I realized that a red dot wasn't supposed to look like a bundle of grapes or have a comet's tail. I chocked it up to it being a cheap red dot until I was at a carbine course and discovered that no, that's due to the eyes having the 'tism.
good glasses. so important.
Sig Romeo5. I own two. One on my 10.5 AR and one on my Benelli M4. They fucking rule for the price point.
Loctite all the things and replace the mount with something good. Loctite all the things.
I'd go red-dot, then an MBUSSET. Holosun or Primary Arms should be under $150, I'd pick a color/reticle from the manufacturer's website, then search the product code on gun.deals
C_DOES on youtube does the best videos on views through an optic, which has helped me choose.
