That Sparc AR red dot is worth about $200 on Amazon, PSA, and Midway. 2 MOA. So $445 AR with red dot or $200 red dot and $245 AR, whichever makes you happier.

For $200 I recommend this one:

for $20 I recommend this:

I own both, and so far both have been reliable, you'd think the $20 one would be a POS but it is surprisingly well built. And if you aim it at a mirror in dim light the red dot in the scope is almost impossible to see... meanwhile, the Votex one is very obvious, almost like you're pointing a laser towards someone, so for stealth the cheaper one is better. But for build quality and toughness I am guessing the Votex is superior.

Sparc AR for around $205 CDN.
20% off MTM Tactical ammo boxes and gun vise
Vortex SPARC for $160, though I think that's only an okay price.
20% off UTG stuff if that's your bag.
'Save big' on shooting accessories - the prices seem pretty meh tho.
Assorted optics here, though the prices aren't blowing me away.
Some upcoming deals for Tipton/Caldwell stuff, but they won't open for me.
Ha - I had no idea that FireField (lol) made NV optics.
I understand it's for fun and all, but why not spend $150-$200 on a nice quality red dot and save money in the long run but avoiding the cheap ones all together?

Right you are.
But elsewhere they’re shown up, including Midway, Primary Arms, and PSA.
What is this conspiracy?
Strikefire has a 4 moa dot which may be more or less desirable than 2 moa depending on the user. For some reason Amazon's SPARC description says they do not recommend it with a magnifier?
Vortex SPARC AR
Or
Primary Arms Advanced Micro Dot
Or
HOLOSUN HS403B
All are good, but for the prices the Primary Arms or Holosun are a better bet due to the 50k hours battery life.
Then buy a lightweight magnifier with QD mount so you can either leave it on our take it off depending on your current setup or shooting preference.
That's all pretty much in the $300 range for both the dot and the magnifier.
