Application / Regulation advice Decent budget Red dot sight recommendations

I’m looking for a decent budget red dot sight to add on my .22 wildcat for some fun plinking. I’d be willing to spend up to 150-200$

I ended up getting the Triumph which was pretty much exactly in my range and like you said I’ll probably switch it around to some of my other rifles

I’m currently shopping for a S&W 1854 in 44 magnum, I was thinking of rotating the sight on the wildcat and my future S&W. That way I’ll get more value out of the sight than getting an Amazon one

Yeah that is true actually, I’m still hesitant when it comes to .44. The idea of a .357/38 special is also very appealing and the ammo is definitely cheaper

Yeah and bulk 38sp is super cheap when compared to .44 especially in a lever gun where you go through rounds like water. I barely use my Mauser M18 chambered in .308 because of how expensive the ammo is, it is exclusively for hunting and doing adjustments, which is unfortunate because I love shooting my Mauser
