I'm in the market for a red dot to mount on a Marvel Unit 1 22lr conversion. I'm not interested in seeing how expensive a sight I can buy, but the best quality $200-$300 street priced sight which #1 fits my budget and #2 needs. This is strictly a range toy, I don't compete with the gun. The majority of use it sees is paper, although steels or bounce targets do get played with on occasion too.
Presently I am looking at the Vortex Venom or Sig Romeo 1 and, at the moment I am leaning toward the 3MOA reticule due to its finer aiming point and smaller target coverage. I also have a bit of astigmatism and am thinking the smaller dot may be a bit sharper to my eye? Weight and balance matters, I do not want a "tube sight".
Is there any notable reliability difference in the 2 sights mentioned?
How positive are the adjustments and, does one seem to be better at holding adjustment? Both appear from what I've read to be 1MOA/click?
This is my 1st "dot" sight and I am also curious as to how they handle parallax? Are they truly free of it or is there a minor amount around the edges?
Any thoughts, tips or hints you might have you think I would be interested in feel free to offer them.
