Check out Primary Arms. So far the two scopes I bought from them have passed all the test I put them through

I've read several places that the Strikefire is very dim and not really usable in bright sunlight.

Yeah that's always bullshit. I have read that on EVERY single red dot available, and EVERY single time I use them it's plenty bright. You have to realize there are a lot of people that can't see for shit - and many of them use red dots.

For what you want to spend, get the vortex.

It's brand new in the package, 4 moa and mount included.

I had the Strikefire for a couple of days. Could have been the batteries, BUT it was dim. When powered on in sunlight it washed the reticle pretty bad. The green illumination was a little better, but still not enough for me to be satisfied.
I will agree though, for the money the Vortex or Primary Arms is probably your best bet.
Can even look at the Nikon Monarch red dots. I have never looked through them but have heard decent things. They are just a little higher then the other two, but occasionally can be found on Sample List for the same price.

Check out the link they have to ar15.com about reviews. I dont have one but for the price they look hard to beat.

I have a cheap tasco red dot on my sks mounted top center receiver and held 0 fine. Took it off to mount a reflex sight rifles too heavy as it is. I bang the tasco around all the time when I'm at the farm its currently on my 1022 tacti-cooled out. Nah but in all seriousness good scope for the money and everyone should have a ruger 1022.

Primary arms microdot with kill flash and applicable mount. Never heard a bad thing about them and the one on my Polish Tantal is pretty nice.

Lots of good reviews on that M4 clone. And 1/7th the price. Heck, that looks like a good starter red dot.

Magpul stuff with free shipping, too. Hmm....

I'm running the PA M4 clone and a PA magnifier on my M&P15. They both do what they were designed to do.

The PA Magnifier is nice, I was very impressed looking through an EOTech.

It probably was batteries, because the batteries with my PST scope were halfway dead when I got it.
