Looking for a red dot site for a .22 Rifle. Something that is size and caliber appropriate. Any Ideas ?
Vortex parc, Sig Romeo or a Primary Arms. Should be able to get a Sig for $125 and will work just fine for your 22LR

Primary Arms or Holosun. If you surf the primary arms site they have blems every so often fir under $100. Great bang for the buck. I’ve got a Holosun on the AR I built for my son. No issues to date.
I like the company so my Vortex Crossfire seems good for the money.

I’ve had good results with the Bushnell TRS 25, they are small tough and don’t cost a lot. I have four of them
Another on the TRS-25, if you shop around… can be had for about $55-60 bucks
I would go with Primary arms rotary knob model with 50k battery life. The other options recommended will ask work as well. This one has upgraded internals compared to Holosun (made in diff factory to PA specs) Holosun does their push button models.
The dot is $149.99 if not on sale, but also gives you the ability to mount it to an ar or shotgun at a later time and not worry about durability
All things being equal with cheap red dots and none are made in the US, I would go Crossfire too for the warranty.
Sig Romeo 5, or the equivalent Holosun. Primary Arms makes good ones. If you have the scratch, Aimpoint ACRO, or Micro H-1 .
Can’t go wrong with Primary arms, used them before had zero issues
I’ve got an EoTech on my M&P15-22, rattlecannned pink and purple, like the rest of the gun.
Primary arms or holosun
I’d rock a primary arms or an Eotech when I am feeling fancy
Primary Arms or Holosun. Google on youtube the insane torture tests these optics have been through and then you will see that it does not make sense getting another budget brand at about the same price. To put things into perspective, I sold my Aimpoint Micro 4MOA on Arfcom to purchase 2 Primary Arms advanced Micro Dots. They are of the same quality as far as durability goes.
I don’t get why a .22 should be any less reliable or durable than a 5.56.
I run a T1 on my .22 pistol and a Nightforce on my .22 rifle.
It’s all relative to what you want to accomplish with a red dot. You find them in assorted sizes like 1, 2,3 5, 11 or so MOA as a guess. In certain matches I put the smallest Nikon red dot on tiny targets at close range and it’s great. Never lost yet. Use a different brand with a larger dot and you obscure the targets. Use a bigger target and then you don’t obscure the target. Depends on what the size is of what you want to hit. I tiny pinpoint red dot needs a lot of intensity in daylight. A larger dot can get by with less. For steel plates and bowling pins many red dots are suitable. For steel chickens my Nikon dot can work but other lower cost brands aren’t much good.
Primary arms and holosun are pretty much the same thing. Have them on ARs and Aks and they hold zero and just work…
PA/Holosun are great, but their mounts are crap. For a .22lr they’re adequate but for anything more I’d highly suggest upgrading.
Have 2 Vortex red/green dots & they were right for my price range & range use. Have found that green dot helps me acquire faster. And Vortex is also good with their warranty, having had to send my first one back & they got it back to me quickly & no problems since. Dealer had also recommended them too.
I’ve always been a Vortex man through and through.
