That's the kind of advice given by posters that don't really shoot Rimfire Challenge or Steel Challenge.
For Rimfire challenge or steel challenge you want a bigger tube if you really want a tube type optic and a bigger dot. The "window" type red dots with big dots (12 or 16 minute) work better. Best of the bunch on a 15-22 is a C-more Railway. Big window, excellent optically, replaceable dot modules and it's the right height without a riser.
I'm 66 and definitely in the "old eyes" category and do shoot steel and rimfire challenge. C-mores are great. They have optically good (glass) lenses and replaceable dot modules so you can change dot size. Downside to the C-more is windage and elevation adjustments that don't have clicks. I have Ultradot Match dot IIs for when I want adjustability. Is your gun mostly for plinking or is it for shooting steel matches? If you mostly plink and occaisionally shoot steel use what you like. If you're serious about shooting steel get a C-more.
