i need advice on what optic to get
im torn between the utg bug buster 3x9x32 and the utg 3x12x44
i want to be able to hit targets from up close to out to about 300yrds
the bug buster has a parallax setting to bring it down to 3yrds and the other will bring it to 10yrds

any and all advice and suggestions are welcome from brand to magnifications

At that price range you might be best off with a Primary Arms Red Dot

would a 1x4 reach out that far and hit a human sized target?

Irons (and red dots) will reach out to 300y, so yes a 1-4 will too. 1-4x actually suits an AR quite well.

Nikons are a big improvement over a UTG.  Good starter choice.

my issue is my eyesight isnt that good at all so there is no way i could make even a 100yrd shot accurately enough to say kill a deer with iron sights

Well a good 1-4 or a 1.5-6x would work.  Look at the primary arms 1-6x if you can find $250 plus a mount.

Just stay away from cheap UTG stuff.  A good low power scope from a reputable manufacturer is a worthwhile investment.  Consider the Leupold Mark AR Mod 1 series or the P-223 Nikons, even if you have to run iron sights and save up a bit.

Lucid makes two excellent red dots for under $200 shipped that will let you hit out to 300.

My issue is my eyesight also,I had a Aimpoint PRO,great RD but the dot looks fuzzy to folks like us.

I got a razor gen2 1-6, no more problem seeing.

I know thats out of your price range but from what the others are telling you about the 1-4s and 1-6s.>Primary arms,Leupold Mark AR Mod 1 series or the P-223 Nikons is dead on.

Try not to be in a hurry,save a little longer and get something good, you'll be glad you did.
