Good red dot for under $200?

[BISHOP]

Yesterday I took out the M4 to check the Walmart Red Dot I have had on it for a while now.

Took some shots saw that it was off. I turned some screws and took some more shots. I did this couple more times to no avail.
On one shot in particular just after adjusting I watched as the dot dropped. This means that the adjustments are sticking.
THIS SIGHT IS LONGER USABLE!!!!!!!!

So after several years of using this $39 walmart red dot, its time to spend some real money and get something more reliable.

I don't NEED (or need to spend the money for) a $400 or $1200 red dot. If I had the $$ I would. Unfortunately airsoft scopes don't hold up to constant .223 use which it too bad because I can afford those prices.
The Elcan Specter in two tone gold black with QD mount and back up red dot mounted on it is really nice looking.

Anyway. I have kind of narrowed my search to two.

Lucid HD7 Gen 3.
Good pics here.

And the Bushnell 1X MP 1x32



Both of these are 1X optics.

Anybody have any other ideas for under $200?

Why not Primary Arms or Vortex?

Check these out. They both have 50,000 hr battery life.

I've got the Strikefire II on my AR and it serves quite well.

A few of us have Vortex Strikefires and they seem pretty good. You can get one from OpticsPlanet for about $180 with no shipping (http://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-v...dot-4-moa.html)

I find myself in a sort of similar situation. My Eotech keeps getting dimmer and dimmer - apparently this is common. I can send it off to L3 for repair at an estimated $80 but I have lost confidence in Eotech at this point. I am considering a Primary Arms Red Dot - I have two of their scopes and like them. Just shot a 60 round, 400 yard, six inch group, with one of their $200 scopes.

I've got a Vortex Sparc, it serves me well. Holds zero, long battery life, small/compact, and light. Just about everyone that carries them is $199 including shipping.

I've been happy with every purchase I have made from Primary Arms. I have some of their red dot sites and love them.
