A couple of days ago I ordered a Red Dot for my AR-15.

I got a Sight Mark QD Ultra Shot. It was only $84.99. A pretty fair price if you ask me.

This red dot has four reticles to choose from, a standard dot, a circle with a dot inside, crosshairs with a dot inside, and a combination of the other three.

(The one below is the combination of three)

One thing that I really like about this sight is that it is rated to the handle recoil from rifles up to 50.bmg.
It also has five brightness settings, the brightest is blindingly bright, so it would be good for sunny days, and the lowest is dim for low light levels.
Another feature this red dot has, is infinite eye relief, which means you can mount it as far forward on your rifle as you want.

And the main selling point for me was the QDM (quick detach mount). If you adjust the mount correctly you can take the sight off and put it back on without having to resight it.

I haven't done any shooting with this yet but I'll post an update as soon as I do. So far I'd give this sight a 7 out of 10.

I'll be looking forward to to your report after you use it. That is neat about being able to remove it and put it back on without have to readjust it. Thanks for the up-date.

Here are my first shots with this new Sight.

I didn't expect much from this sight at first, but now I'm sold on it.

Some people who reviewed on this sight said it had problems with ghosting. Ghosting is where you see multiple reticles in one, or see doubles with one off to the side. My sight didn't have this problem.

I'm impressed with this sight. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting an affordable Red dot.

Matt D.: I do every once and a while. Honestly I just use a cheap Walmart bike. I don't ride enough to justify purchasing one any nicer. Apr 8, 2014 21:36:25 GMT -5

Rohn: Beautiful weather here in Niles. Great day today. Went to a "wild meat" dinner this evening and ate - turtle soup (from the turtle we caught last spring), Brown bear meat, elk, frog legs, wild turkey, wild boar sausage and some catfish. Loved it all. Apr 19, 2014 20:44:42 GMT -5 *
