Ar 15 scope for under $150

[wasralex22]

I know, "Spend more on the scope" But, I have a budget here.

I just want something I can shoot targets with, and or at least my goal of 400-500yrds.


Anything, anyone can suggest?

Bushnell makes a few that get great reviews and are around your budget.

I put a Nikon 3x9x40 on my ar and it seems to be good.

Why not just wait a little longer and save more ? That said I see a lot of the nikons on ARs at my club Nikon P-223 . Only experience was out to 200 yards...
I have a 80s vintage VXIII on my AR varmint model?

This is a very nice scope for the money have it on my AR and 10/22 very clear comes with rings, needed to add a 1" riser for the AR ORC works great.

Primary Arms has a self branded line of scopes that are excellent for the money:
https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary...htm?searching=Y&sort=1&cat=919&show=40&page=1

They have a 6x in your price range and a 4-16x44 for $160. I have their 1-6x (basically the variable version of their 6x and it's very nice). Their customer service is awesome too....as you can tell I am a fan.

This. They go on sale at amazon all the time. It's $150 right now. I got mine last year for $110 after a $30 rebate. Great scope for the money.

Bushnell's AR optics line is pretty solid and mostly in your price range. I've got their 1-4x and it's very good. The 1x isn't quite true 1x, more like 1.1-1.2x, but otherwise it's an excellent scope for the price.

 

[PaulR]

x2 on Redfield but I don't think you can get one for $150 that will be good for 400 yards.

Then again I can't see crap so don't listen to me.

 

[thormx538]

Check around for a Visionking 4-16x44. I have one -- I just swapped it out for a Vortex 6.5-20x44, but it is a damn good little scope for the money. Optics are really clear, turrets move independently, illuminated reticle, etc.. The clicks aren't exactly 1/8MOA like they claim though -- that's probably the only downside. Should be right around $150 shipped on ebay or aliexpress.

I have a vortex crossfire II on my ruger american. The 6-18 is a little more, but the 3-9 and 4-12 are in that range.

The Revenge 3-9x42 can be found for $160, which is just over budget, but very nice.

 

[sweed]

There's a 4-12 bushnell scope in the classifieds for $90.

hawke varmint on sale

http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Hawke...ings+Day+2:+$50+off+Hawke+Varmint+Rifle+Scope

I mounted both my AR scoped rifles in these http://www.amazon.com/Leupold-11029...TF8&qid=1404230224&sr=8-5&keywords=leupold+ar
I like how well made they are and they have been solid so far. Combat tough maybe not.....

I learned through the years even a shitty scope will perform better with good mounts... Most rings that come with cheap scopes suck.

 

[Kisspik002]

Check out primary arms...

 

[jeffC]

Nikon P223 or M223 are (I BELIEVE) within that price range. Ive got the P223 with P223 rings, very happy with it.


ETA

MidwayUSA is having a sale on them..... 109.00-159.00, depending.

[DW357]

I assume you have a flat top reciever ? Why not keep things simple ands stick with brand... http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-834-M-2...=1404394392&sr=8-2&keywords=nikon+p-223+mount this looks like it will keep the scope pretty low for a solid cheak weld and also gives it the bump forward for eye relief with out needing to get up onto a railed handguard. ?

 

[warwickben]

I saw those mount I got the magpul prs stock.
I was confused if that's a set like you use two mounts that are offset or you buy one normal one one offset .

FYI-they offer a couple different ring options. The one-piece like this one posted, and a two piece set, which is cheaper.

 

[mac1911]

no feed back from OP yet ...... well to the OP outbackarms just stocked up on less expensive optics SunOptics if meeting a budget is key. I have no input on sun optics other than the customer service for my high preasure pump for my pellet gun has been great.
Out back arms also has several NOS scopes on the bottom shelve. most have been there over a year...make a offer on some?

 

[mikelawtown]

That's the one I just posted lol ...

same here, for the $$ you can't go wrong. wouldn't go over 300yds though. But that could be my eye's.

 

[frenchman]

These are nice scopes.


http://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-crossfire-ii-3-9x40mm-rifle-scope.html

i have the crossfire in 4-12 with the BDC reticle on my AR. Decent scope. Got it on sale with a cantilever non-QD mount for $169 from primary arms.

 

[92G]
