    Which sight to use off my classic's side rail?

    I have a couple classic mags, and have wanted to run the red dots off the side dovetail rails for awhile. The only two cheap crappy red dots I had lying around didn't fit it too well. I am looking to get some nicer ones anyways, and were wondering which fit the rail best? It seems to be slightly non standard sizing :/

    Preferably a tube red dot, open style red dot, or occluded sight. Adjustability is necessary.

    Thanks!

    I don't beat my equipment but I have never found a red dot site that would take more than about 6 gun hits and still function every time or whos mounts wouldn't break off. Please let me know what you find, or share your words of wisdom in the selection and mounting techniques.

      I cant speak for the red dots but I had an Armson O.E.G. M-16 for about two years on my 'cocker and never had any issues. Although it didnt take many hits being behind the feedneck either. The holographic sights are way better imo (except the battery issue of course). The o.e. sights were just my only option with the vert feed.

        For all the sights mentioned here, except for IMP, which is an economy entry-level sight for the "newby's" who are just entering the sport, we have the Paintball Warranty. For only a small handling charge, we will replace sights ruined due to damage in the game. We don't care how it breaks, just send us the pieces and a small handling charge explained in the directions when you get your sight and we will send a new one. Not in a couple weeks. The day we get it, we like to turn it around. That way you can be back in the game efficiently because of your added advantage of using our sights.
        My friend broke his adco when he ran smack into a tree, they replaced it for about $7 shipped. It broke, but he used it for quite awhile, and got a new one for damn cheap. That's good enough for me

              the adcos are 20 dollar chinese red dots marked up to 70-120 bucks so they can replace them when they break...


              google a simmons red dot and compare the knobs and dial placement
