Decided to do some retail therapy today and grabbed a black Derya TM22 Pro with the 12" barrel. She's beautiful 🥹 Doesn't come with any sights, so I wanna throw a red dot on it. Any suggestions for a budget red dot? Don't wanna go too crazy since it's just a 22.
+1 for triumph. Seeing people say amazon dot which will work for .22, but with the triumph you can throw it on larger caliber as well if needed. Plus vortex warranty. No brainer for me if OP isn’t strapped for cash and doesn’t mind spending ~100 bucks more than a garbage dot with no warranty
I have bought several red dots off Amazon for my 22s that have been cheap and work wonderfully! The feyachi brand is particularly good quality for the low cost!
Bud the v30 is their cheaper clone of the regular t2 style dot its prob your best bet. If you want to spend a bit more though you can get the ARO for like 200$ on srstactical. 10% off if you’re mil/LEO
How do you like the magnifier? Is it enough zoom for decent precision @ 100m ? I thought about grabbing a magnifier to put behind my red dot to see target better
Might still be helpful in my situation, I’m zeroed for 50-75M but at 100 I have to aim like 4-6” higher to hit where I want I think some zoom would be great and can still flip to side to use pure red dot instead of being stuck with a 3x prism or something
I've been looking at these! Curious question, do you know if there are mlock slots on the top of the handguard? I was thinking you could attach a rail on the top, and then put a pic rail iron sight on it.
As far as cheap red dots, I've been using a cheap Romeo 5 Clone from China on my CZ Trail. Cost like 80 bucks, and survives the 7.62 x39 recoil fine, so for a 22lr it would be overkill
Vortex Triumph or a Bushnell TRS-25 is a winning solution.
If you go TRS, you may want to buy an adjustable picatinny riser off of Amazon. Before I threw my PCC optics on my TM-22, I found the TRS was a bit low so the riser helped a lot.
Nope, never. I even bought it used. I always kept it on the lower numbers for indoor use and cranked the sucker to 11 during full summer sun. Worked on every setting!
