red
Red is the color at the longer-wavelengths end of the spectrum of visible light next to orange, at the opposite end from violet. Red color has a predominant light wavelength of roughly 620–740 nanometers. Light with a longer wavelength than red but shorter than terahertz radiation and microwave is called infrared.
Red is one of the additive primary colors of visible light, along with green and blue, which in the Red Green Blue (RGB) color system are combined to create all the colors on a computer monitor or television screen. Red is one of the subtractive secondary colors, resulting from the combination of yellow and magenta, as in the CMYK color model. Traditionally, it was viewed as a primary subtractive colour, along with yellow and blue, in the RYB color space and traditional color wheel formerly used by painters and artists. Reds can vary in shade from very light pink to very dark maroon or burgundy; and in hue from the bright orange-red scarlet or vermilion to the bluish-red crimson. Red is the complementary color of cyan.
In nature, the red color of blood comes from hemoglobin, the iron-containing protein found in the red blood cells of all vertebrates. The red color of the Grand Canyon and other geological features is caused by hematite or red ochre, both forms of iron oxide. It also causes the red color of the planet Mars. The red sky at sunset and sunrise is caused by an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering, which, when the sun is low or below the horizon, increases the red-wavelength light that reaches the eye. The color of autumn leaves is caused by pigments called anthocyanins, which are produced towards the end of summer, when the green chlorophyll is no longer produced. One to two percent of the human population has red hair; the color is produced by high levels of the reddish pigment pheomelanin (which also accounts for the red color of the lips) and relatively low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin.
Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger and courage. Modern surveys in the United States and Europe show red is also the color most commonly associated with heat, activity, passion, sexuality, anger, love and joy. In China, India and many other Asian countries it is the color of symbolizing happiness and good fortune. Since the 19th century, red has also been associated with socialism and communism.
OK, so I picked up an MKE/Zenith MP5 clone. It comes with a rail that I mounted. But I need optic suggestions. I'm thinking a low profile mount and somewhat smaller than say a Vortex Strikefire II or an Aimpoint Pro.
Trying to hover at the $300-ish dollar range.
Anyone have any experience...
So I just picked up a 22/45 Lite and I wanna get a red dot on it ASAP, however I am shying away from the $300 price tag I am seeing for the Vortex options. Does anyone else have experience with some good quality but inexpensive red dots they could recommend?
$140 cash firm

Primary arms red dot. This is not the micro dot it's full-size like a aimpoint. I really like this red dot but my buddy has a pepr mount for sale and I'm thinking low power scope now on my 11.5 stag. I have cash as well I could maybe add for the right deal.

I've known that I had astigmatism since I was a kid and it never really bothered me.
That is till I got a decent red dot. I have a couple cheap ones in the drawer that I thought had fuzzy dots due to being cheap.
Nope, the Sig Romeo 5X is funky as well and that was kinda disappointing at first...
This is a very good, near new condition Holosun HS515c circle/red dot sight. I have several Holosun red dots and people who have shot my guns have said they think they are more crisp than their EoTechs.
