Does anyone know where I can get a relatively cheap but decent red dot scope?

I found one at Wal*Mart for like $8

It works and does all the basics, but is made from plastic and quite flimsy if put to hard use, so if you want a decent one just go to hunting shops or check eBay.

Think adjustments for wind age and distance are required on a unrifled gun shooting paintballs?

The $8 one from Wal*Mart came with windage and distance adjustments.

I managed to zero it in once, put the gun down, came back and it was about 4" off :?

But they do help if you're aiming at a target quite far away as it at least tells you your barrel is pointing in the right direction :wink:

Haha that they do, I am trying to go for the aesthetically appealing look for once and I hope that a red dot is practical while looking good too.

Yeah worth getting for $8, sometimes I think i'm aiming somewhere, but it ends up going somewhere else, with the dot I know my barrel is pointing at the target and not to the side of it.
