Low profile reflex/red dot sight options?

I'm looking to replace an older ATN reflex sight that I installed on my Browning Buckmark. It's a good sight for a rifle, but at the short ranges I use this pistol, its 1.5-2" height/ bore offset is a bit annoying on targets smaller than a soda can.
Can anyone recommend a sub $200, extremely low profile reflex/dot sight that has a dot sized more appropriately for small targets at close range? The ones I'm looking at (such as the Primary Arms micro dot reflex sight, or the Burris FastFire) all seem to be 4 MOA or bigger dots, oriented around self defense use rather than plinking squirrels off of tree branches. 2 MOA would probably be ideal, yielding a 1/2" dot at 25yds and an inch at 50yds.
 
Hard to find a reflex sight with a small dot. You're usually better off going to a tube. On a .22, you don't need to spend big money either. CDNN usually has a deal on something. I also like Optics Planet.
 
Let's keep some replies going here, I'm also interested in this. I just installed a trail-lite threaded barrel on my buckmark and want to add a red-dot of some sort. I usually shoot at ranges from 7-25 yards. The Burris fast-fire is at the top of my list so far, but would love to hear other options from people who have actually used what they recommend.
 
i am also looking for one for my walther p-22 target. i am leaning towards a multireticle reflex sight. sightmark i think is $50 at academy sports and has a crosshair/circle thing (looked great in the store) that has no dots in the way. the reticle choices might be the key for transitioning from target to small game. just read on their site it has a: 3 MOA dot, 10 MOA "dot/crosshair", crosshair, and 65 MOA circle with 3 MOA dot. NCSTAR has a similar product with slightly different reticles but i havent had very good luck with my NCSTAR reddot (.223 recoil maybe?) checkout optics planet or amazon. please let us know what you end up with.
