So many options out there.
CQB shooting and short range (1-200m hunting)
Vortex, Primary Arms, Leupold, Bushnell?
I know there are plenty of high priced brands but $5-700 would be what I would consider for a seccond hand scope.
Thoughts?

a hensoldt fero z24 could probably be had at the top end of that budget
I have a leupold AR Mod 1 3-9*40 with tmr reticle and P5 dials. As new cond. $500. PM me if interested. It is a good scope but have upgraded so its sitting here as a spare.
I have 2 Millett 1-4x24 DMS scopes and love them. https://www.scopeuout.co.nz/collecti...an-rifle-scope
I had a 1-4 on my AR15 when I first got it
thought it would be ultimate
I wasnt a fan of it at all.
at 1 power you get to see tons of your suppressor which annoyed the shit out of me
it stayed on 4 power till it got replaced with a typical rifle scope. 2.5-8x32 vx3 leupold
If you haven't tried one yet id recommend trying one before sinking big money into one
Not for a AR needed to put a scope on my
.300 Blackout. Looked at the Leuopold Hog Hunt..? Nice scope but a bit limiting I thought. Just went for a Bushnell Banner 3-9 X 40 or the 2-7 X 33 can’t remember which power. Happy days [emoji41]

this would suit
@Hunter_killer get a primary arms acss reticle 1-6.
They are bang on with the Ammo you will be slinging and will work on a 308 if you move the scope around.
On 1x they are a red dot, 6x you can shoot to max effective...
I have a Leupold VX Hog 1-4 x 20 on my shorty lever action. Nice scope though even close range in the bush I often end up winding up the magnification.
There is one on Trademe that closes tonight, supposedly ony sighted in so near new, it's currently at a third of new retail price.
Should also mention I have a Leupold VX1 2-7 x 33 on my bolt action 308. Cheaper than the VX Hog, but glass seems as good. Hard to say which I would put on an AR, depends on the sort of shooting I guess.Quote:

Both are very nice scopes.

Wouldn’t a canterleaver mount help?Quote:

@300_BLK
REF Primary Arms, would you go FFP? Packs a bit more on the tag but the reticle naturally makes more sence.
you can get mounts to put them on just about anything, I have them on a AR,a ak and on a 10/22.Quote:

I now run a dialable 1-8 scope for the use your describing, but thats in a whole different catogary price wise.
Mate I used one for about 8 weeks and shot from 10m to 500m and it didn't seem to matter with the 5.56 / 223.
I'd go 2FP and use the savings on ammo!

Burris AR-P.E.P.R. Scope Mount (30mm)
I have these off my AR replaced it with a Swarokkkiyee Z8i 1-8 and a JP extended mount would accept an offer.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far team. Has put some good options on the table that I otherwise wouldn’t have thought of.
I put a Nikon Monarch 3, 1-4x 20 on my Sav 99, 358 Win Lever.
I was looking for something for action hunting at 0-20 mtr Pigs and goats in scrub and spotlighting but still able to take large game out to 300 mtr.
Have been very happy with the clarity of the lenses. Only had it for 6 months so not done a lot of shooting.
Range trip last weekend and at 200 mtr the 12" and 6" gongs where nailed but the 3" one was just about covered by the German #3 reticle so I left that one for the bolt action. I could see my bullet holes at 100 mtr and the splash marks on the gongs.
I'm OK with that as a 6" gong at 200 mtrs = dead deer out to 300 mtr.
Also had a Nikon 2-8x32 on my 22 mag and now son's 223. He shoots 6" reactive targets at 250 mtr with that one.
Nikon do a range of AR scopes in 1-4, 1.5-4.5, and 2-8, up to 4-16 etc plus illuminated and reflex sights you could bolt on the side. 223, 308, 300blk etc

The Monarch 7 is the top line, then the 5 and 3 series. Followed by the Prostaff, Buckmaster, & 22Rf lines. Plus Crossbow, pistol and black powder scopes.

The MONARCH 3 1-4 is a heck of a scope. Great MONARCH glass and as you said, able to get you on target accurately. Nikon has a new M-Tactical in 1-4x24 in MOA. I really like this scope and plan to put one on a .375 H&H. Currently here in the States it is on sale for almost $200. Great deal for a lot of scope. If you want something magnified check out the Nikon's BLACK Force1000 1-4x24 scope. Illuminated and still around $400 US. I have one on a pig gun and it is big fun to use as the sun sets.
These are great, https://www.scopeuout.co.nz/products...ulti-x-reticle
good for close in and fare for reaching out. RainGuard works well when lens gets wet.
Good cheap scope.
Hey res where do you get an ar mountQuote:
