just got a new ar flat top 223 rifle with no sights. i think i am interested in a reflex style sight. i have never owned this type of sight so i have a few questions. first they seem to be a fixed 1x power scope, do they have other powers or variable powers? i have seen seperate additional magnafiers mounted behind the reflex sight, do those work well? second, is there a prefered reticle style or reticle color or are they situational? i see some have multiple reticles and colors as well as brightness levels. does this really help with different light conditions, early morning, afternoons, and early to late evenings? are these types of sights durable and what about battery life? lastly, cost? i would prefer spending under $100 but my upper limit would be $200. thanks.
