As you know Aimpoint is really the top if money is no object. The aimpoint PRO and the ACO are fantastic, best durabity and great battery life but a little pricey at ~$400. You'll never be disappointed with an Aimpoint.
If you are looking for a dot sight that is both red and green, then something in the Vortex line would work like the StrikeFire

I just recently watched a YouTube video by Nutnfancy and he really went on about how great the Holosun HS503C red dot optic is. It is solar powered and has automatic adjusting brightness (and manual mode too). If enough sun is available, it switches to solar power and it is powered by the CR2032 battery (cheap and common battery). The only complaint on this would be the mount itself. Its a cheap China mount and I read reviews that people just switched it out for a Larue mount. The optic itself he compared to the Aimpoint H&T series. Fonto just bought one and we will be testing it when it comes in. I will post my thoughts when I take it out to zero and test fire. Review video URL: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH9KOYLmQBQ |

We tested out the Holosun HS503C and it is a nice sight with a flaw. The optics Eotech-like reticle is nice and bright during the day. After zeroing the rifle, we wanted to test its ability to hold zero so we pounded the butt end of the stock against the table a few times with considerable force. To our surprise the sight then shot 1.5" to the left. We followed up with a second shot and the bullet again hit the same spot on the left. So it is a decent sight for the money but just don't expect it to hold zero should your rifle ever drop or gets banged around.

After testing the Aimpoint and the newer Trijicon MRO, I personally like the MRO.
1- larger field of view
2- Trijicon robustness
3- No windage / elevation caps to loose
4- Price

Once we stray into premium red dot price range you are also in the 1-4x scope price range. With all of the great scope options out there it is hard to limit oneself to a 1x only option.
