What scope should I go with????

[cpw006]

I just picked up a DPMS AR yesterday for my wife(at a non-inflated price from a great member on here) and am wondering what I should do as far as a scope. I kind of want to move my Vortex Strikefire red dot from mine and put it on my wife's and get a nice long range scope for mine. The reason is the DPMS is nice and light so I figured it would be good with the red dot for clearing the house or close quarters. Mine is a RRA Operator that is a heavy pig so I figured a long range scope would be good on her. I don't want to spend a ton on one right now, maybe below 200 if possible. What are your thoughts on my options and am I correct with my thinking on putting the long range scope on the RRA?

For the money the Leupold Mark AR is hard to beat. I got the 3X9X40 with a nice mount for 319. A bit over your budget but Leupold stands behind their product unconditionally....EVERY time. I love being able to hit the steel at 400 and then dialing back to zero at 100 consistently. Just my opinion, YMMV.

Made in USA and here is a link to a review:

an inexpensive choice for both closer shots and mid-range is a Nikon P223 AR Carbine model for around $150

What do you consider long range? As for right or wrong, dress it the way that suits you. Who cares what anyone else thinks?

The best buy I've seen in a decent variable with what I think is ample magnification scope under $200.00 is at Midway.

They run an exclusive Nikon Prostaff 4X12 Mildot periodically for $179.00. I bought two of them a while back and they aren't bad at all.

Should have specified, I'm looking at 300-400 yards max as far as long range. Thanks for the input guys......

3 to 400 yards ? Man size target? Irons zeroed at 300 yards.
