I purchased a Crosman 2240 to tinker with this winter. I have a steel breech kit for it plus a DTP adapter. I don't want to stick a ton of money into a red dot but a reasonable amount. Any decent options I could get on Amazon? Also can't decide between reflex or tube.
Red Dot Confusion

I have shot both in handgun competition and like tube the best. It gives me better depth of field.

Put a bit of thought about how you will like the sight height above the bore too. Some like them low to the bore, others, not so much. I think that it has to do with their normal range/shooting distance and keeping a flat trajectory. Conventional red dot scopes are usually mounted pretty high, like a scope, and typical pistol reflex sights are low, keeping things close to the bore.
On my GK1 I kept it low. And because of shooting multiple distances, choose a zero distance that is pretty flat. I use the upper and lower arcs of the dot as a guage for holdover or under based on range. A sight with multiple chevrons or dots would be ideal, but those are pretty expensive.
I like the looks of the Holosun HE507COMP with the 2 moa dot and 8, 20, & 32 moa circles as a holdover reticle. It's pricy though.
