Thoughts on these?

I'm putting a red dot on an Arsenal AK.

What do you guys think of these? Hate'um, like'um, don't give a shit...please share.

I'm not going out and buying a Trijicon or Eotech...so we can skip that part...
Although the Zombie Stopper Bio-hazard ridicule would be nice.

Primary Arms makes a wonderfully durable and accurate red dot for a resonable price. It is a clone of the Aimpoint M68 Close combat optic . I have one on a 7.62 X 51 for shits and giggles and it has always held zero and been very reliable. I would recommend one if you don't want to get up into the Trijjicon/Aimpoint/Eotech price range.

Somehow I knew you would be the first N8. Thanks!

MY bro has a primary arms red dot and loves it. It's fairly inexpensive and durable.

I've had the 1x28 bushnell. It's fine, but there are much better optics that are more durable. If you really want it, let me know b/c I do get a discount through my gun club on them. I think I paid $50 or so for mine.

The only other optic that we have is this 1-4x Bushnell on my bride's AR:

It's nice, we don't use the lighted reticle. She runs 1x when she does CQB classes while the 4x gives you enough magnification inside of 500 yds.

Heres the one I have.

100 bucks is a decent price and you can't beat it for a good reliable optic that will handle the beating on an AK. You'll have to get a side mount rail for your AK. Stay away from NCstar, Barska, and other air soft bullshit or you'll be sorry once that recoil throws off your zero. You can get the factory blems for about 40$ and they work too.

this may work for you also.

If you are just looking for the red dot without the different reticles you can get the primary arms red dot for @70.00

aw man...the title left me disappointed...

Agreed. I was going a totally different way with the topic title.

Completely underwhelmed and a giant 'meh'

What did you expect, a picture of my nuts?

And to the rest of ya...thx for the input guys!

Perhaps N8 or Anderson (forgot who has it) can post the amusing argument for NOT putting optics on an AK.

Your Arsenal is way nicer than my Romanian, and I chose to not put optics on it. Something about keeping that weapon simple was appealing to me. I boresighted it and right out of the box had 5 inch groups at 100, which is not bad. I was consistently hitting torso sized target at 200 with the irons from the beginning too.

Now those results on my AR would have me in tears, but on the AK, it was acceptable to me. I bought that gun to saw someone in half at 40 yards if needed. I have the AR to pick them off 200+, and a 30-06 with a 4-12x Leupold for anything longer.

Would not have been anywhere near here if I suspected a picture of Anderson's nuts.

Hey man, nice nuts.

Nice salty nuts. Mmm...
