Hi guys,

I have an AK I want to put a red dot on. It is getting an ultimak rail and I was looking for some advice or experience with a couple of, possibily "too good to be true" deals I found on the 'net.

TNT Tactical's: 1x32 Red Dot SIGHT WITH AIMPOINT CANTILEVER MOUNT
(it's the 4th one down on the page)

OR

The Vortex 1x30 StrikeFire Red Dot 30mm Sight

http://www.swfa.com/pc-13198-2214-new-vortex-1x30-strikefire-red-dot-30mm-sight.aspx

Both look pretty nice and the TNT one claims no parallax which I like the sound of. Anyone have one of these? Anyone know anything about 'em? Does anyone have another recommendation for a X1 red dot that is under $200 bucks? I know you get what you pay for but I want one that is worth my money at least and I damn sure can't afford an aimpoint! I have never owned a red dot so any advice would be grand. Simply magnificent.

Oh, and does anyone have a dot size recomendation for 25-200 meter shooting? I want the biggest one I can get that isn't going to be hard to hit a pie plate size at 200 meters. Unfortunately I really don't know how the MOA size of a dot works. If it is too big can you not hit crap? Or is it more like a minor inconvenience?

Blah Blah Blah... sorry this post is so long, thanks in advance,

Dan
 
I think half my posts here say "I love red dots on everything". :) I use an Aimpoint on a Ultimak on my AK.

I don't think the Vortex sight is out yet. A lot of folks seem to be optimistically awaiting the release. August 20th seems to be the expected date.

The TNT looks like a standard fake Aimpoint. I would hold out for reviews of the Vortex myself.
