Primary Arms Scope help

[jmckechnie 1]

Alright gentlemen, I've recently converted my saiga and am looking for a new optic. I've decided to go with primary arms based on all the reviews I've gone over. Now I'm just torn on which one to get.

 

First is the micro red dot:

 

 

Second is the micro green dot reflex sight:

 

 

 

Anyone have any opinions on either one? Would the red dot be better as I could add a magnifier later?

Personally I would go with the micro red dot just because it is a 3MOA dot versus a 5MOA dot on the reflex sight. That would be the only reason. I definitely like the smaller size of the reflex sight though. Are you trying to co-witness the irons with it? If so you will need either an Ultimak rail or The MI/US Palm red dot specific railed handguard. I'm interested in this as well so hopefully some of the more experienced members will chime in.

Not particularly worried about co-witnessing, but rather, would like to use the irons through the sight. I think that might be possible with the reflex but not with the red dot. I'm running a UTG quad but I don't think that allows for co-witnessing.

I like the Primary Arms Micro Dot. I used to have it on an Ultimak tube, but it didn't work well with my rifle's comb height. I switched the Ultimak for a Scout Scopes mount that I later modified for tool-free disassembly.
