Hey all,
New M&P 15-22 owner here. I also have a M&P 15 Sport II. I picked up the M&P 15-22 because it's cheap to shoot, my girlfriend enjoyed shooting my grandpa's .22 rifle, and I figured it'd be fun to plink with and become a better shot.
So far I've taken it to the range and had a pretty accurate grouping at about 15 yards (indoor range) but I plan on using this more for 25-100 yard practice and would like a better sight option than the Magpul Mbus flip up sights. It would also be nice to be able to move the sight over to my M&P 15 Sport II as well to cut down on the cost of buying two optics.
My ultimate goal is to improve my marksmanship for 50-100 yards so my question is what optics do you recommend for that use case? Budget is $200 but ideally would like to spend $120-150.
Here's what I'm considering:
Anything else I should be considering? Very happy with the gun so far just looking to do a few upgrades to make it more enjoyable.

Here's what I'm considering:
- Vortex Strikefire II - like this one a lot but feel like I'll need some magnification. There is the possibility of adding a VMX3 Magnifier at a later date which would add 3x magnification.
- Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm - I feel like 3x magnification is quite a bit for this distance. Would probably need quick disconnects and use iron sights if I want to shoot close range.
- Primary Arms 1-6X24mm - A little more than I want to spend.
- Primary Arms PAC2.5X - 2.5 magnification
- Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x Rimfire - Less magnification than the Crossfire above and cheaper however wouldn't work well on the Sport II
