Forget about co wittnessing with a magnified optic.
What is your budget? What size and type of targets are you shooting at? In general, a 1-4 or 2-7 work very well for an AR. |

i dont really have a budget i dont mind saving up for something nice i just dont want to over buy ( not getting a scope that goes father then the gun can shoot or more money then the gun cost). i have been looking and i really like the Trijicon AccuPoint i know midway just had a good sale on leupold. i am not hunting with this gun just shooting at the range

I assume your using a 16 inch barrel. In that case I would go with a smaller 1-4 variable such as a Leupold VXII or one of the Mark AR scopes. Basically a VXII but all black "tactical".
If you want something with more power I would stay in the 3-9 range with a smaller objective lens. Too much scope can negate the portability of the rifle. |

suggest a good 2-7 power for the range you stated..
I got a 4-12x40 Nikon ProStaff with Mil-Dot, but I'm planning on 400-600 yards with it.. I've had ALOT of scopes.. and 200 yards for TIGHT shots require no less then 5-6 power being used... |

I would say shooting technique combined with gun and ammo selection are greater variables for shot placement. True, a 6 power scope will allow you to see the target easier, but the bullet is going to impact the same regardless of magnification. |
