Recommend a scope for an AR

[canny]

My dad bit the bug and got him an AR. He wants to be able to shoot hogs out to 300 yds. But needs to stay within a few hundred dollars...

So you don't trust my input? Just kidding... But seriously

PM arrowsmith. He's got some good prices on vortex scopes right now.

Oh I trust it and we are leaning heavily on what you and I discussed.

Leupold Mark AR

Vortex all the way!

Leupold mark AR. The one I shot worked perfectly. Sighted in at 100 the first hash mark was dead on at 300 and second hash mark at 400.

Vortex has a wonderful line of scopes for ARs

Nikons are very nice...but on my AR is a Burris XTR with illuminated reticle. Whatever he gets, make sure you can light it for dark hours shooting. If he doesn't need magnification then just go with a red dot

I love my Nikon P223. Also would look into Vortex with the TBH pricing

Leupold VR-R Patrol 3x9x40. Great glass and solid clicks to adjust your scope.

I personally like the Eotechs and Trijicon Acogs but those are more tactical shooting

Leupold Mark AR, probably right at the top of your budget. I have one and just put it on my AR in July. Still havent really looked through it much, so I cant give a good review.
