Which one is the best for AR15 and why?

I am looking a red dot for my MP15-22, and maybe I can use your opinions to decide although I am leaning toward Strikefire because is cheaper.

FYI, I will be using it for target shooting.
 
I shoot a Strike Fire on my SU16. I got the green / red dot one and in sunlight the red dot at its brightest is a little tough to see at 50m, if you are thinking of working beyond those ranges with an RDS. With the included 2X magnifier it is better but I rarely have the 2X with it. There is a newer red dot only Strike Fire version that is said to be brighter.

Making adjustments requires a coin. Only other thing I had to do was tighten down the rings as after a couple range visits it started turning. No biggie.

I have no experience with other RDS
 
I have the SPARC on my AR and love it. Put the Strikefire on my M-14. The compact but capable SPARC is hard to beat. Plus you can't beat the Vortex warranty IF you ever have a mishap with your optic!
 
The Sparc and Strikefire are compatible units as they are strict red dots. And price alone proves which is superior (Sparc).

The Lucid HD7 is equally as impressive of a unit as the Sparc, but its got reticles

So it really comes down to the purpose and anticipated shooting styles. But you can cross the strike fire off the list from the get go.
 
I've read and watched numerous reviews on the Lucid HD7 and all of them put it above the Vortex Sparc. The warranty on the Lucid is apparently just as good as Vortex. I picked up a Lucid HD7 myself but honestly you can't go wrong with any of them. It pretty much comes down to how much you want to spend.
 
What about the Bushnell TRS-25 ?? I have a Sparc and (2) TRS-25.... I like them both but the TRS is alot less money.The Sparc comes with different mounting bases and it will cowitness the original front sight as well.With the TRS you would have to by a rail spacer to raise it a bit higher but the spacers are really cheap (fabsports sells them).
 
I ordered Strikefire.

It has the same reliability with SPARC, but SPARC cost more. I also prefer the looks of Strikefire on AR-15 than SPARC.

I watched a lot of reviews on youtube about it, and made up my mind.

Thanks guys.
