Red Dots: How Cheap is too Cheap? (featuring Mike Branson) (Ad-free)
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 12:00:03 +0000 UTCI met up with Mike Branson of Gideon Optics at SHOT Show 2025. Today, we are talking about red dot price and quality. It's easy to get a good red dot if you are willing to spend enough, but how cheap can you go and still have a reliable product?

I bought a cheap red dot once, with a name brand. During a class, the internal lens came loose and I lost the red dot image. I called them, they sent me a newer model which is still working. At least I got good support!

I did, because I checked them out after last years videos. still if they look for a retailer abroad....

I’m a big believer in a point of diminishing returns, and that’s why I have a $500 Leupold instead of a Nightforce and a Honda Accord instead of a BMW 5 series. I’m sure a $2000 scope is nice, but it’s not gonna be four times as nice as the VX-3.
