Vortex Strikefire is what I decided on for my .22 upper.
Another plug for primary arms. There mini red dots are good. They are never in stock. I currently have a Weaver 1-3x with a primary arms $25 mount on my 15-22. It is a real nice set up. At 1x i can shoot with both eyes open just as fast as i can with my AR witha eotech. At 3x i can shoot 1" groups at 50 yards and headshot squirrels all day.
Are you referring to the Vortex Strikefire? It's a little smaller than an Aimpoint CompM3/PRO.
A dedicated .22LR AR-15 is the same size/weight as a 5.56mm AR-15 (unless it's some plastic gun like a S&W M&P15-22), so no, it's not too small for a .22.

Primary arms..
I have their micro dot and it functions superbly, works well on any caliber too...

Trueglo. Around 100$ and holds zero on one of my AR's through 500+ rounds.

how about on a .308 AR? thinking about going to one instead of regular optics.
Ended up going with the Vortex SPARC.... That way it is a nice enough dot to take off the .22 and put on whatever... Otherwise a cheapo TruGlo might get me going, I would not be able to transfer it. I was able to buy the SPARC for $180 new in box, free shipping.... I feel good about that. Thanks guys.... Maybe I will keep checking in on Primary's stock.

If you want something like the EoTech reticle, the Primary Arms 30mm Multi Reticle sight might fit the bill. It looks like an Aimpoint, but changes reticles with the twist of a knob, and one of them is pretty much the same as the EoTech reticle.

+1 for Primary Arms, I like how it's half the price of most alternatives, damn good for the money, and co-witness's perfect with my mbuis's
Just the other day I found out I had left it on lvl 4 for almost a solid week before turning it off and it's still bright! Also used it in rain and below freezing conditions and its done me well.

I like the Vortex Sparc. A remarkable little optic.

You don't have to. There is an eotech for rimfires that is only $400!

I have a few of these on my AR-15s and they've worked great for years under heavy use.

But it fits that silly dovetail rail, NOT a weaver/picatinny rail... Which sucks.

I have a Primary Arms Mini reflex II that I like besides it lacking an on/off switch. Then again its been on for over 2 months straight without any sign of dimming.
I have a little buyers remorse on the Vortex. The field of view is tiny! It's about the size of a contact lens! Hopefully I will get used to it. If you put the gun down in the patrol position, then shoulder it.... It takes a second to find the dot. I just couldn't spend $500 on an eotech for the .22. Just a little range report for interested people in the Vortex... I'm spoiled by the Eotech gov!
