JLG Report post Posted March 14, 2015 I picked up an AR upper the other day, with a piccatanny rail running out almost to the end of the barrel. Looking stuff over I think I am going to put some 45 degree side mount open sites on it but I would like to put a variable 3x9 on top to give me a chance to hit something at distance on a P- Dog shoot we will be doing this summer. Its a 16" barrel. So in a moderate price range what do you guys recommend. THanks JLG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Tub Report post Posted March 14, 2015 I really like my Nikon P223 in 3x. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted March 14, 2015 I have a few suggestions that would fit the bill nicely. A Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40 w. the ballistic dot reticle at around $265. A Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44 w. the BDC reticle at $449. A Nikon M-223 3-12x42 w. BDC600 reticle at around $469. An SWFA SS Classic 3-15x42 FFP w. their version of the MIL-quad reticle at $699. A Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 FFP w. the EMDR reticle at $849. Depends on your definition of "moderate". That is a bit subjective. Some people think $400 is a lot for a scope, while others drop $4-9K on great glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
