Hello everyone, I am looking at buying a scope for my Colt ar competition rifle in 223. The gun will mainly be used for coyote hunting and shooting steel targets. I would like to be able to shoot about 6 inch groups at 300 yards. I also want a scope with good low light characteristics.I have been researching the past few days and I have a few things that I am looking for;
-500ish dollar budget -4x12 power range (give or take a few powers either way) -BDC or similar reticle -40 or 50mm objective diameter? -Good low light characteristics -Able to see a coyote at night with a coyote light attachment Some of the scopes I have been looking at include -Zeiss Terra 3X 4x12x42 with the RZ8 reticle -Nikon M-223 3x12x42 with the BDC 600 reticle -Nikon MONARCH 3 4-16x42 Side Focus BDC -Leupold VX-2 4x12x40 with the long range duplex reticle Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! If you know of a better scope that fits my requirements, please let me know |

youtube has some pretty good reviews on scopes for ARs if you search.
One thing I found with a lil research is some scopes are over a pound in weight just in the scope... add a solid mount and that is kind of heavy; my thinking if I want a lightweight tactical rifle. But, I think you are looking more of a bench rifle or hunting carbine so you want bigger... I opted for a Burris 2-7x scope, so far so good but, it's not illuminated and I am thinking that is the only down to it. There are alot of revies on here as well..... good luck. |
