    AR 15 Help

    I have a Diamondback AR and need a scope. I have read about a red dot scope and am intrigued.

    Looking forward to your thoughts/ideas.

    Can I do it for $300-$350?

    Thanks in in advance for your help....

    Check out Vortex Optics, they're pretty popular and affordable. I don't have one on my AR but need an optic and have been considering this brand as I don't need a $500-$1,000 optic for what I do.

    Aimpoint pro if you are going red dot sights. Can be found for right at 400.00 if you look around.
    Vortex has a few that will fall in your budget as well.

    Both the Vortex strike eagle or leupold mark ar would be good choices. 1-6x power so you can shoot short or longer distance. I got mine with a illuminated reticle. Great optics great price and great warranty

    I've always had actual scopes on AR's as I'm personally not a red dot fan, but that's just me. I had a Nikon for sale in the hunting stuff section if you'd be interested. http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=842218. Good luck.

    I have 10 armalites and 3 have lucid red dots and the others are mixed between iron sights and a leouplod red dot. I'll never buy anything but a lucid from now going forward. Hands down the best operating and functional optic I've ever used.

    Look at the Burris MTAC and you can get it with a fast fire on top, close or far.

    I think that the 1-6 options will suit your needs really well. There are several brands out there depending on how much money you have to spend.

    See ya
