Red dot/ holographic sights

Looking for Red dot/holographic sight that hold zero in the $200 And under price range. Doesn’t need to be fancy just work. One is for a 10/22 and one for a pc9. Any suggestions appreciated, Thanks
 
Bushnell First Strike on my 10/22. Not the best when looking into a low sun. Uses a photo cell to automatically turn it on with a nice cover for storage. Never had a problem with zero hitting a bolt head at 25 or an ipsc 200.

I am trying a Holoson 407C on a Browning SA22. Do you sight in with a "six o'clock" hold with the dot. Mine is 3 moa so there is no way to see a bolt head unless a six o'clock hold. The 407 is small, but there is definitely a learning curve for me. I've tried a couple of cheap ones, but they had issues and did not work - one right out of the box and the other would not adjust enough in elevation to sight it in.
 
I'll second the Holosun 407. I have one on a CMR 30 and it's a perfect pair. Auto-off with motion sensing to turn back on, solar charging and compensates for daylight or night shooting. They can be had for under $250 if you shop around.
 
Just picked up this AT3 LEOS red dot sight with integrated green laser for my automatic VR80 12 gauge shotgun. Cost was $159. Love the integrated laser and controls are super easy to use. Awesome product. Very easy to sight in the red dot and laser and they both hold zero perfectly even when rapid firing 3 inch magnum 12ga rounds.

Mounted the optic forward on the rifle so I can easily reach the laser and red dot controls (on left side of sight) with my forward hand. Also added 45 degree adjustable iron sights as a backup.

20 round drum mag with a 12ga is a TON of fun! The Carlsons Benelli Tactical muzzle brake on the front also tames recoil extremely well. Can shoot all day long and not have the slightest discomfort

I used to have a all EO-Techs, but over the last few years, I have switched over to the Holosun/Primary Arms/Sigs Romeos. They all hold up very well and with the small dots, can do what you need. I have them on my work rifles, as well as my fun guns. I have one on my PCC rifle and would not use anything else.
 
Yeah, but that’s a good thing........
I’m wanting a good one for a Sig 320 and a Glock 27 for carry.
Check out Sage Dynamics on Youtube. He torture tests just about every holographic sight out there. The top survivor of 20,000 rounds and 20 drops on concrete is the Trijicon RMR. The Holosun 507 C is doing pretty good too. His videos are a hoot to watch. If it's going to fail, he wants to know.

But that's above the OP's requirements in price.
 
I have 2 SIG Romeo 7's. There's a reason for that beyond their advertised time on a AAA battery.
