The UTG threatens to displace the Primary Arms as King of the G-E-G hill. Its SCP-RDM20R (the name is almost bigger than the sight) is a full-featured red-dot optic, but unlike the ones mentioned so far, it isn’t a tube design. It has a vertical screen in a hood, with the transmitter behind it. The dot is four MOA, which is small enough for precise work, and can be dialed bright enough to work in the summer sun. There are six settings, and when you click it off, it remembers the last setting. When you click on, it automatically reverts to the last setting.
UTG also makes mounts for its optics, so you can get a co-witness, 1/3 witness, or, and this is the best part, you can use an adapter plate to mount it on a Glock or S&W that has been factory-machined for red-dot optics.
Small enough to fit on a handgun or shotgun rail, tough enough to withstand their recoils, and adaptable to ride on top of an AR. And this, with an MSRP of $90. No, not a typo, there isn’t a numeral missing, ninety bucks.
I’d tell you to go out and buy a box full of them, but I have not yet had a chance to break one yet. If it survives the usual range sessions at Gun Abuse Central, then we have a new king of the G-E-G hill.
