I have the red-only version of the Vortex Strikefire with flat AR-15 mount.
I saw this red/green one on sale. Keep the $9 MD tax in mind.

The Bushnell TRS-25 is pretty decent too.

Vortex sparc or strikefire. for the money, and the warranty they come with, they cannot be beat.

Check out a company called Primary Arms. Look at their own brand stuff. I've also seen used older Eo-techs around your budget price. From what I'm told the older ones eat batteries though.
Primary Arms, Vortex, and the Bushnell TRS-25 are all good options.
But, that said, I wouldn't spend more than $125. The PA and Bushnell sights are plenty good, and the chances are high that you'd be better off saving the extra $75 towards a used Eotech or Aimpoint PRO... you'll develop a taste for the good stuff soon enough.

Years ago I purchased a Leupold scope costing way more than the rifle it was mounted on. Nothing wrong with starting off with a budget optic and working your way up. I think it's more important to invest in a good set of quality iron sights. Glass can go down, even the best of them. Get a set of solid irons and train as much as you can with them. Save your money and invest in better glass when you can.

Just ordered an Aimpoint PRO from La police gear. With CYBER15 code today it was 15% off and free shipping. $356.99 OTD
I started with a Bushnell TRS-25 (2 actually) Once they were zeroed, they were great. Still use them on different guns. You can catch them from $72.00 and up. Shop around.
I upgraded to an Aimpoint Pro because it is what we have at work. Zero complaints, awesome scope
