Primary Arms LPVO w/ .22LR BDC reticle
I am considering this for a 10/22 build of mine that I would like magnification. CUrrently out of stock though. Some pros is 1-6 Magnification, Illumination, BDC and ranging capabilities. It will add some weight, but not as much at 8x+ magnification. But won't be light like a RDS. |

My daughter and I shoot steel, but my 54 year old eyes cannot keep up with her young eyes and lightweight browning on the dueling tree! I also want something accurate enough to pop the occasional squirrel When needed. |

I would probably pick up a a 1-4 or 1-5, if you want magnification. Personally a prism or red dot is likely just as effective for shooting, but you cannot zoom in to see target. I use a Vortex spitfire 1X on mine for steel. |

I think I have a 3-9 Nikon Rimfire on my M&P15-22 but if you're shooting steel matches with it I agree with the others about a 1X - 4,6,8 LPVO. I've never researched them by weight so can't help you there. My only experience with LPVO's is with Vortex and Leupold. The Vortex Strike Eagles are very good optics for the money and you can't beat the warranty. My Leupold was far more expensive but a great optic.
If I had the money I'd get a Vortex Razor but that's way overkill for a M&P15-22. I'd suggest looking at the Strike Eagles and combining it with a lightweight mount. |

I went from a Holosun red dot to a PA 1x6 acss in .22lr and it is an amazing optic for this platform. I love red dots but the m&p15-22 is so light the lpvo isn’t overly heavy at all and balances very well. Anyway, there is my $.02.

well, I was rooting around in my parts boxes in the garage and came across a Millett 1x4x24. It's a little heavier than I'd like but the plastic M&P is pretty light to begin with so I think I'll use that.
I've recently had shoulder surgery so anything heavy is pretty much out for a while until I regain the strength. Doesn't stop my daughter from taking me to school on the plates tho! LOL....

How about a Holosun red dot and matching magnifier? In these times of ammo scarcity and crazy pricesI plan on using my 15-22 as a trainer to offset my 5.56 AR, so I'm using the same optics for both.

I just run a cheap bushnell TRS25 but I'm just plinking. I have that PA acss 22lr optic previously mentioned on a 10/22 which l also like.
