Here is PFI's, but I'm sure any good 33MM mount should work just dandy...

And here's the red dot I went with:

It depends on how sturdy you want the mount to be. If your gun is a high round-count tool or something you need to be durable enough to bet your life on, then $200 is about right for a good mount. If it's a low round-count range gun, a pair of simple rings or a cheap mount might be fine. You can find the rings even on Amazon for as low at $20. Or, go over to Primary Arms and look their stuff.

ETA: oops sorry, didn't catch the 33mm part. No clue about that. I've never even heard of an AR15 optic that needed 33mm rings.
