I am pricing out some scopes for my bushy and need some visual aids! I am going to use it mainly for hog hunting and target practice. Any ideas?

same here... I want a variable power tatical scope..

Not variable, but a Super Sniper 10X on a .920"  16" carbine:




Same scope, different carbine:

$299 at SWFA.

Burris has a new good line of Tactical scopes also.  Nikon's are good, but you can't beat a Super Sniper for the money (except for a Bushnell 3200 10X Mildot at around $175 and just as good but no parralax adjustment).

would it be better to have a variable or a fixed?

I really like this scope but I wonder if its too much scope for me.

ACOG TA01 4x32 w/ Larue #LT100 mount. Retail cost = $625 scope, $125 mount.

I love the scope, fun to shoot from 30 yards out. Looked through it at a target at 100 yards, then one at 300 yards and it was easy because the crosshairs were so thin. Only shot it at the 75 yard hill so far.

Super Sniper 10x.  And before anybody asks.. the vert grip will only fit on this rifle, I have a rail riser incoming so I can put a BUIS to match the front sight, and the birdcage is there so I can mount a suppressor.

Both are Nightforce.  Yes they're pricey, but worth every penny(if you get a good deal)

I use both Lupy and NF on work weapons.

Another Super Sniper 10x. You'll note there is no BUIS because the ARMS #40 does not clear... but the Troy I ordered on Monday will hopefully solve that :). PS look for a #40 comming soon to an EE near you.

Do you have any trouble with the FSB getting in the way?  I ask because I may be considering a similar scope set up on my middie.

Actually, General, they are all totally created from scratch in Photoshop CS, with a little help from Apple Aperture 1.0.1 using video from the movie "Platoon".  
We will be happy to supply you with a copy of this movie with Sergeant Barnes (played by Tom Beringer) using all of the above weapons at different stages of the movie for the sum of US$2,498,234.00 less shipping, handling, and insurance.  
And for a slight additional charge, Chris Taylor (played by Charlie Sheen) will use my Photoshop created NMH-91 instead of an AK-47 in the final scene.

Many thanks,  
Edwin

Whatever you do..DONT go this route. It holds a pattern like 00 buck out of a 18" barrel shotgun at 50 yards. Cheap  NC star 6-24 X 50. NC star mount.

Price range?

Low power variable, medium power variable, high power variable? Low to high power variable?

Hows the area you hog hunt in? Lots of brush and crap? Wide open?

Whats the average distance for shots?

I run a 1-4x20 Leupold VXII with a duplex retical on my 16in AR. Great optic, not nessesarily "tactical" but I can put rounds on target at 400 yards with it no problem. Has done the job in carbine classes and training sessions with the WI crew. It's taken some rough use and come out of it just fine. Good glass, on 1 power it's nice and fast in the brush and thicker woods(I used it on my 30-06 this deer season and loved it. the 4 power is more then enough magnification for any hunting situation out to 300-400 yards if you know yer load and yer gun. (of course that goes for anything)

IOR has a 2-12x32 that looks sweet but I won't touch it because IOR went SFP on the reticals in their tactical scopes I prefer FFP reticals.

IOR 1.1-4x26 is a nice little optic on the low powervariable side as well. I liked that optic, should have bought it when I had the chance oh well shit happens.

A nice 2.5-10 might do you well too. Or perhaps even a 2-7 or 3.5-10.
