16" mid length, LMT tactical rear sight, Fixed Troy HK style front, was planning an irons gun for awhile. Now I'm thinking scope or optic would be good..

Looking for something that is between 3-7x at the most. I've been looking at fixed 4x scopes too. Kicked around the idea of Red dots, but i would like some magnification. ACOG is an option, but i would like something with a finer cross hair type sight picture.

Criteria I'm looking for, capability of a clear focused picture to 350-400 yards, Mil-dots, but still be usable 50-100 yards.

Any thoughts, kind of thinking I should look at Troy folding rear sight for easier mounting of an optic as well?

Vortex Viper 2-7X

I'd love an ACOG, but can't spend the cash.  I use the Viper 2-7x and love it, no issues with close shooting or 350yrd shooting.  Great scope for the cash.

Bushnell 6500 Elite Tactical 2.5-16x44

Best deals I've found have been on eBay for around $640

http://www.bushnell.com/tactical/rifle-scopes/elite-tactical/lrs-2-5-16x-42mm-mil-dot

Both are first focal plane scopes, which I like...don't have to remember a multiplier for the mil-dot system at different magnifications like on a 2nd focal plane scope...


or 1-4x
