I'm looking to buy a laser for my M&P15-22 and need help picking one out. What would be my best bet? I'm not wanting to spend to much, but want something that will actually hold zero. I would also like it to be green. I'd really appreciate your input, and links would be nice!

Thanks for your help!

I like this–––––––––– GLX Laser Sights
BARSKA’s GLX compact mounted laser sights are designed with an accessory rail mounted conveniently under the laser. The T6 aluminum body allows for the GLX laser sight to provide a strong, stable platform to mount accessories to its integrated military standard picatinny rail. The GLX compact laser sight is extremely versatile in its mounting options. The built-in mount is a weaver standard compact mount with a stabilizing cross bar insert for added support.

FWIW, Barska is cheap chinese shit. It won't hold up well.

And also, there are no civvy-legal lasers that you can use practically during the day. You have to build your own to get that kind of power.

If you want a good laser, it's going to cost way too much money. LDI and Insight have a pretty good reputation, but they're far from cheap. The $200 Kryptonite laser might hold up on a .22.

I have a Viridan C5L laser/light (http://www.viridiangreenlaser.com/viridian-c5l-laser-sight).  I found it online for ~$300, its not cheap.  You can save some money and just get the laser version.
But its one of the few green lasers that last in the hours instead of minutes, so you can practice with it and don't need to change out the batteries afterwords.

I like it because I can swap it out between different platforms (works on .223 and .45)

I have mine running parallel to the barrel and it holds.
