Crosman 2240 red dot green dot recommendations

[Line354]

New to CO2 pellet pistols. Bought a Crosman 2240 and upgraded with a steel breech. Now I'm looking for a red dot/green dot to mount directly to the 3/8" dovetail. I bought the Crosman red dot but was advised that it is not a quality sight.

Any recommendations??

Hawke. Well worth the money.

I have had a few of the less expensive ones, but the Hawke is so much better. A tiny dot that looks like a dot. I have 2 of them now.

It depends to a great extent on what you want do do with the gun. If you are just plinking, the Crosman red dot might well serve your needs; I suggest shooting with it and see if it works. If you are looking for greater accuracy, you may well need to buy a better quality sight. I have a Browning reflex red dot (~$50) on my customized 2240 and it works very well but there are lots of others out there. I prefer the reflex sights but have also used the tube type with about the same results.

I'll second the Hawke RD.
