Considering a red dot sight

[newB]

Been toying with the idea of putting a red dot sight on my AR. Have been diligently reading reviews. Seem to be mixed reviews especially on halo's under $200. Don't really want to put a tube type on the rifle would prefer the open type. Currently have a 3-9x40 on flattop. Thinking of putting the red dot on a angled rail mount for tactical scenarios Don't want to spend more than a couple hundred. Would possibly use it also on shotgun.

Wondering what your experiences have been and what you recommend.
