I have both the PA Advanced model and the Strikefire II. I bought the Vortex first. I like it a lot. But the dot is too big for long range shooting. A rifle like the AR is capable of shooting fairly tight groups at 400 yards. I'm talking minute of man groups. A 4 MOA dot will just about cover a man at that distance. You can't shoot what you can't see. I have the PA on a shotgun and the Vortex on my AR. I am seriously considering swapping them because the larger dot on the Vortex shouldn't affect the shotgun but it does the AR.

The Strikefire had too much parallax error for me. Most people won't notice it and in fact don't check for it. So, it would probably work fine for you.

That's strange. I had the exact opposite experience. I see much more parallax in my PA but only at shorter distances. But those are shotgun distances. I always check for parallax issues on any type of sight or scope. And the PA was borderline acceptable IMO.
