    Looking for recommendations for a rifle scope. My parameters are as follows:

    1. $300 max price
    2. Plan to use primarily on my 5.56 AR for 2 gun competition (not planning to win just do my best and enjoy) and occasionally switch it to a .308 Browning BLR for hog hunting (can't do often enough to justify leaving a scope sitting on the rifle which only gets shot a few times a year at best).
    3. I really don't plan on shots past 300 yards and most often much less.

    Feel free to tell me which ones you would avoid as well as ones you would recommend. Basically looking for the best bang for my limited buck. If I have left out a piece of info that would help your recommendation let me know. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Thank you for that. I know you have a great reputation with other ingo folks and I sure appreciate your support of Revere's Riders so you are definitely my first stop option.
    Glad I could help. We just put these on the website today, (they are the leftovers from last weeks sale) and we only have 3, so don't expect them to last days.

    Might want to look at used. You can find some very nice glass for 3 bills, and most reputable manufacturer will honor the warranty.
    I've looked at a couple of the scopes mentioned and wouldn't buy them for half the asking price and I'm no where close to an optics snob.
