Hawke 1x25 Red Dot (Model HK3204)...

[Aimstraight]

I also like the Hawke RD25; picked up a boxed mint s/h one off here for just £17 collected.

As you say, compact with a nice small dot. The 4 MOA dot (4" @ 100yds) is more than good enough for my needs.
The brightness adjustment dial is rather firm, but that is a good thing; helps prevent turning it on accidentally (avoids flat battery).

I also have a JSR 30mm red dot (looks identical to the Hawke RD30) that I previously considered to have a nice small dot, but looking on the Deben website, the RD30 has a 5 MOA dot. The RD30 is on large size, but the single long mount can be useful depending on the application.

I used one of the earlier Singlepoint sights many years ago on an old Mercury. Fantastic for close range farmyard use, it accounted for a great many rats, although the dot was far too large for even contemplating rabbits at, say, 30 yards.

About six years ago I bought a Hawke red dot. Can't remember the exact model...it was right at the budget end of the price range, the Sport Dot, or something? Had it on a Crosman Model 1. It seemed okay, but I never got it used for my intended ratting purposes, but felt it would be fine. I did feel, however, that adjustment was pretty coarse, so slight lack of ability for "fine tuning".

About a year ago I got a Walther Competiton Red Dot. This seems lovely. It's on my 2240 mini-carbine. Again, it hasn't actually made it to the farmyard as yet, but this seems really good. Nice small dot on low power settings and very compact.

Must have a play with it soon, it's been in the cupboard for yonks, unused!!!

I also feel that, for many scenarios, the dot sight is a formidable and useful system.
