What would be a good (clone) red dot sight in this style?

Best dot I have purchased. Family has it on a AR and AK platform in the states holds a great zero, rugged little thing.

I've left mine on for 3 months at the lowest setting and the battery / optic is still good.

You will need to have some redirect the optic to you, they don't ship to Canada.

Have it and LOVE it on my PTW. Shot out two on real steel tho. One on an AR and the other on my VZ.

Great for airsoft but I wreck em on RS. Not transferable in my opinion.

One of our guys had one on his PTW and we did a side by side against my primary arms. We both agreed that the Primary arms was superior in build quality and in the dot crispness and brightness range. The glass was marginally better in the SPARC. Best value for the dollar goes to primary arms.

Good to know about the Vortex on live fire. My family won't touch them and I didnt think it was -that- bad.

Bushnell has a micro clone TRS-25??? I considered it before getting my PA micro seems like a solid little piece at a decent price range.

My problem with Vortex is simply the brightness SUCKS.
I personally don't think there's a point to NV capability. Unless you're running mono-bino or bino NVG setup there's no point (PVS-7, PVS-15, ENVG)

So theres no point to the nv mode... unless you use nv... sounds about right.

If you're looking for a good T1 Micro clone, get one here when they're instock.
They're even realsteel rated so you know they're going to be good:

And where would I find this sight in Canada? At a reasonable price.

In Canada, at a Canada-reasonable price, with Canada-typical shipping, how about here?

That's only 2.4X the price of ordering direct from China, so for in-country that is pretty reasonable.

EDIT: Hell, if I wanted one I would drive over there and pay $40 rather than wait for China shipping because I don't have to pay shipping. Plus the proprietor is a cool guy.

I've never ordered from a oversea retailer, so I'm not exactly confident in doing so. The one you linked seems reasonable

Oh, while Im at it. After reading a little about killflash stuff, is there any killflash that would fit the type of red dot/reflex sight I posted above?

If not, I guess I just wish Im lucky.
