http://www.opticsplanet.net/ncstar-red-dot-sight-1x30-t-style-red-dot-with-ar-mount-dtbar130.html

I'm trying to decide if i want to order me this. I'm just worried it's a small diameter, and it's not going to be effective for quick targeting. it's a good price.

I just thought i'd ask my AF2 buddies what they thought.

From experience, this Leapers sight works great for me:

i would agree with seabass but leapers are notorious for having the parallax effect. you might need to spend a little more than you were planning to get a red dot with out the paralax

Honestley, i think i need at least an extra 10mm diameter for target acquisition. 30 just requires too much extra time to obtain a good look. Thanks for your help guys.

You could always try the red dot I have on my AK out... great for target acquisition and also looks pretty cool on just about any gun.

I cannot help with what is the best manufacturer, as you no doubt have different makes to those available in the UK, but I certainly would recommend the largest Objective Lens you can get, giving the largest field of view, and excellent light gathering.

I once had a 30mm sight, while it served me well, I changed it for a Walther 50mm costing about $75 [after conversion from £ GBP] and never look back [no pun intended Smile ]

The only down side was it reflected quite well, and as concealment is my main objective, it raised a small issue, that was resolved using an ARD [anti reflection device]

I found that gun smiths [stores] or Airgun stores offered a better selection than airsoft stores.

I would reccomend a 30mm circle red dot. Like mine i find them the most effective Very Happy
Just go to your local sports store and they shoud have them good luck.
