Pretty much as the title says.
I'm planning to remove my current scope from my AR and go back to a holo sight or a red dot (I don't think I'll ever add a magnifier to it, so the issue of a red dot getting magnified shouldn't be an issue.)
BUT, I checked CQT for the holo I might get (EOTech 512, my rifle came with one originally and I got greedy when they had their big recall and took the $$$) and was quoted ~$450. MidwayUSA has it for $399 w/free shipping.
If I go red dot, I was thinking a Sig Romeo 5XDR, which, again, it looks like I can get cheaper online.
So, what do you think? Support a local gun store or save myself some money? I'd be buying this with proceeds from a home sale (sadly, no, not a lot, enough to cover the mortgage and get us some money,) so it's not like I'm running up a credit card or that I've been saving my bottles and cans for months to cover the cost of the optic...
