Rifle dot sights deliver lightning-fast target acquisition wherever the shot is close, moving or unplanned — Civilian Service Rifle and practical rifle, straight-pull carbines, PCCs, semi-automatic rimfires, practical shotgun and airsoft. At Xtreme Tactical we stock rifle red dots, enclosed optics and holographic sights built for rugged, both-eyes-open shooting, dispatched tracked from the UK.
Pair any rifle dot with a flip-to-side magnifier to reach further, or step up to a holographic sight for EOTech's signature reticle. For all-weather sealed reliability, see enclosed red dot sights, and consider a green reticle in our green dot sights range. Shooting a smoothbore? The recoil-proof end of the range is grouped in shotgun red dot sights, and a 45-degree offset dot backs up a magnified optic. On a rimfire or a straight-pull, see rimfire and .22LR optics and straight-pull rifle optics.
Shop by brand: Holosun, EOTech, SIG Sauer and Primary Arms, with a budget micro dot from XOPTEK. Finish the build with red dot sight mounts, and see the best red dot sights under £300 if you are working to a budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
What mount height do I need?
Most shooters run a lower-1/3 co-witness or a 49 mm (1.93 in) mount for a heads-up position. Browse our mounts, or check the mount height chart for the exact figures.
Which dot suits a straight-pull?
A 1x dot keeps a straight-pull fast at 25–100 m (27–109 yd) and adds almost no weight over the receiver. Our guide to optics for a straight-pull AR compares a dot against a prism and an LPVO for that platform.
Can I add magnification later?
Yes — a flip-to-side 3x magnifier sits behind the dot and swings aside when not needed. Our guide to choosing an AR-15 optic covers where each format earns its place.
