I'd recommend the Trijicon TR24, but even used, it sells for around $600-700. But at $500, I've heard great things about the Vortex Viper PST 1-4

Only 1-4x? Burris CTAC and MTAC is pretty nice. Bushnell Throwdown could be another option. Vortex is coming out with the 1-6x Strike eagle in a few months. Looks pretty sweet, especially for the price.

See if SWFA's new SFP 1-4x is available yet. That would be my first choice.

What has been mentioned already aren't bad options, but you mention that you'd really love an ACOG and want a crosshair reticle.
If you really want an ACOG, you can sometimes find used TA01NSN's or TA01's in the $600-$650 range on the EE. Maybe save an extra hundred or so and keep an eye out? If not, a 1-4x Vortex Viper PST is a great option. I'll also mention the Burris MTAC 1-4x. I had one for a while, and while it's a little heavy, it had decent enough glass and the reticle was easy to use. |

what about a great little scope for fairly cheap that has a standard duplex reticle ?
weaver makes a really nice V-3 1-3 x 20 that only costs $174.00 and ships free so you could save the rest for the ACOG in the future. http://www.amazon.com/Weaver-V-3-1-3X20-Riflescope-Matte/dp/B0000V2EBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425176433&sr=8-1&keywords=Weaver+Classic+V-Series+Rifle+Scope+1-3x+20mm+Dual-X+Reticle+Matte |

The reticle takes getting used to but the Mtac is nice for the price.

Intended use? IMO, there are no truly great 1-4x in your price range.
PST - If you have great vision definately get this one, close to true 1x. VXR- Great features, not true 1x but close enough. AR MOD - Light weight, ok glass, skip it if you want a true 1x. TR24 - Out of budget but deserves consideration. Skip it if illumination is not a top priority. TTC |

I'm pretty high on the Burris MTAC 1-4 after spending much more on optics in the past. The MTAC has stood up to abuse, has nice glass, and the reticle works out very well. Best $399 I've spent in a while... BTW, you won't need offset irons with a 1x4 scope. You can run the thing almost as fast as a reflex sight at 1x.

I been wanting to try my hand at 3 gun. I do have plenty of Eotechs laying around so I might just use those. I mostly just want something different then a normal scope and redot so something in the middle? |

I just ditched my ACOG for a Razor HD. It hurt the wallet, but I won't be looking back. Your not missing out too much with the ACOG.

Don't forget approx 200+ dollars for a quality 1 piece mount. Larue, bobro, adm
A good value mount is aero precision. $100 |

watch the EE for the SWFA HD SS 1-4. I got one close to your budget and it is one hell of a scope.

What do you think about a Millett DMS-1 ?

[#23]
Of all the nice scopes talked about here, I rarely see them ever break they are all pretty durable. The millet I have seen break.. It was replaced but don't buy that price of garbage. I would rather have a pa 1-4.
Maybe get one of the Bushnell 1-4 throwdown scopes from PSA for $100 until you can afford better or decide if you like them. I love 1-4 and realize it's more my thing then a red dot but they are heavy and change the chararistics of your rifle. You might hate it. Plus after a mount, throw lever, offset sites, you are in it deep so you better like it because your wallet won't. And yes, you will want those extra's they are the shiznit. |

Bushnell AR optics 1-4, great little scope. I think PSA still has em on sale for about $170 with PEPR mount. Very cheap setup but I love mine, holds zero and with the money u save u can buy a bunch of ammo.
