As of right now we only know what’s in the listings for the gun. Nobody has actually received it in order to give you a proper answer.

As for a good red dot, I’ve got a Vortex Sparc II ($299). They usually end up on sale for a bit lower and would bring it into your price range. I’ve also got a Vortex Crossfire II ($240), both of those dots have been on my Type 81, GSG 15 and my JRC without any issues.

If you’re a taller person, I personally would lean more towards the Sparc II. It sounds a bit silly but it comes with a higher mount and I’ve found it really helps keep the neck from feel kinked, specially on shorter length rifles.
