You can get the HD7 for about $189 from Amazon and other sources:

edit: If you prefer a lower profile than the HD7, you can go for their M7. Street price is about the same.

Gaaahhh!! You mean I have to dive into more YouTube Review videos tonight. You guys don't make this easy, at all. My husband has issues with the lens diameter, and the HD7 seems to have more than the SPARC. I am in YouTube red dot vs retical overload.

I know how that goes, took me a long time to decide what to buy.

To help you shorten your search time, here is the review of the HD7 that sold me:

Truly appreciate you sending this... Both me and my time thank you considerably. LOL!

All suggestions welcome

In roughly the same price range as an EOTech is the Mepro M21: http://www.binoculars.com/rifle-scopes/ ... binoculars

It uses no batteries (uses fiberoptics and tritium instead), and it is the issue optic for the Israeli military's Tavor carbine.

But you're not going to get tritium/fiberoptic sights for the cost of an inexpensive Bushnell or something. However, if you're willing to spend in the 300-500 range, you can get a pretty good sight. Heck, I'm selling a package deal right here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=69881" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think we've settled on the Vortex SPARC. We went to Cabelas today and were able to put it in our hands and take a look at it. We have also seen several reviews on YouTube and other sites... Seems like the best red dot optic for the price. The very nice gentleman at Cabela's, former military, said he would recommend the optic (in this price range) over any others and he'd used EOTech, etc while in Afghanistan. He also said that the Vortex price point is a challenge to the more costly brands - almost forcing their hand with optics pricing. When there are two of everything that you have to buy (husband and myself), you go with the best for less...

Anyone have any experience with the TruGlo? I am going to research that Bushnell.
