Anyone tried the Nikon Monarch VSD red dot?

Full Version: Anyone tried the Nikon Monarch VSD red dot? I've been looking at red dot sights and came across the Nikon VDS with an adjustable dot size. Since I can't find one in a local gun store to check out, I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. Specifically, I'm interested in the brightness of the dot and reliability. I'm also wondering if it might be a good alternative to the Aimpoint. This one? http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php?cat=4...&productNr=6610 It doesn't seem like it is priced for the bargin shopper? $250+ How much is an Aimpoint? Aimpoints
