Red laser will not be visible at all (red light is not scattered in the atmosphere.. that is why green lasers are used).
As far as red dot finders (or red dot sights, of holographic sight - BTW this is totally wrong description) are concerned, they are OK (sometimes they suffer from parallax, especially physically shorter model), and they are cheap. Telrad is good, but quite big and cumbersome... and expensive.
Have a look at couple of ebay listings:
