It all depends on what you want to do with your rifle.
Consider buying a membership to the site, you wont regret it. Just about everything
you need to know is covered somewhere in detail. It's not expensive and then learn to use the search.

Out to 200 yards and paper/targets.. maybe a simple red dot..

Primary Arms makes one for like $70 (when its in stock)..

this will get you on target at 200-350 (if needed)

You can get an EoTech Red Dot for $400 or the Aimpoint PRO Red Dot for $400.. (if money is not a problem).. this is what the LEO/Mil use..

if your doing just paper at 100-200 yards.. maybe a fixed 6x or variable 2-7x

again depends on what you want to do with it..

Way too open ended of a question. You gave no specifics in regards to red dot, irons, magnified, price range, etc. That's like asking "what car should I buy". Please read the FAQ and narrow down your choices, then post again.
