For an AR-15-22? I wound up with another one and it came with a $20 red dot on it but I want something a little better but under $200.
I've looked at the Sig, Primary Arms and Holosun's, they all look like they came from the same chinese plant and according to the president of Sig Optics, they did. Any particular one you like and why?

I've killed game with Eotech's and shot good groups with them. I love the reticle. They are the only scope/sight the guy who makes Beowulf's has not been able to destroy. If it's 20 below, I won't be hunting or shooting, unless to repel boarders.

I have a sig romeo 4, had two of them but did not need the second, mine has been on 2-3 guns and is still working fine. It would be perfect for a 22 long rifle, not crazy about the battery compartment but it seems to work fine. its sharper to my eyes than the 2 aimpoints micro's I have one of which I think I am going to sell and replace with another 1-4 scope. Mine came with a mount I think its about 2 years old, still works fine, holds zero, no issues really.

I've been impressed with the Sig Romeo 5 I bought last year. I'll probably buy another one or two, with one going on a 10/22

I like Eo-Tech NV 556's, have them on several farm and house AR's, everyone else here hates them, but, I can see my flips up through them should I or my red dot become disabled.

Thanks guys, I have an EOThingie EXPS2-0 on one rifle that I love, have had Aimpoint H and T2's as well as a Pro and ML3's along with other quality red dots. I understand quality pays off in the long run but not sure I want to spend that much on a plastic 22 for fun. But then again why not? PA has the Sig Romeo 4M on sale for $199 which seems dirt cheap on one end and too high for a chinese red dot on the other. Of course, the Sig guy says they are designed in Oregon and assembled here with Japanese parts. They were supposedly cleared for use with the FBI but retail was around $500. Anyone know what's going on here? https://www.primaryarms.com/sig-sauer-romeo-4m-2-moa-red-dot-sight

I'll see what mine says. As best as I can tell the 4M is supposed to be assembled here but as cheap as it is, I doubt it. I ordered a 4m knowing I wouldn't spend more than that for a game gun....

For under $200; it’s going to be hard to beat the sig/holosun. They are made in China but hold up pretty well.

I had a sparcii on an ar for a little while. It wasn't bad.I finally splurged on an eotech when they dropped to around 350 last fall.
A bushnell trs25 wouldn't be a bad optic for a little 22.I had one on a ruger charger.

Yup, get the Romeo 5 from PSA. Anything better (i.e. Aimpoint) costs a whole lot more.

I figure the Romeo 4M for $199 was worth the extra

PSA has Romeos for 119. I believe free shipping, too. Just ordered one. It gets really good customer reviews on various websites. For $119.99 tyd it was worth it just to try one out for myself. Now I just gotta figure out what to put it on...
