get a variable zoom from x3 up to x9 or x12. Nikon Prostaff and some of those redfields are nice for the money. Leupold is the best, but you have to pay a lot more!

I have a Nikon p-223 3X9 on mine. It is made for AR's and so far I am impressed. I paid under $200 for it.

I run a vortex 1-6 razor HD. The real question is what is general use? A 3-9 leupold would suffice if you mean hunting and plinking off a bench.

I use the vx2(3x9x40) on my 5.56, and vx3(4x10x40) on my 6.8. On the 6.5 grendal sits a Sightmark 8x25x50. I use the Nikon offset mounts to get proper eye relief on the 1" scopes, but can't find them in 30mm

Don't overlook the Mueller scopes, they make a damn good scope but since the brand name hasn't been around a million years nobody talks about them. Especially applicable with the mil dot reticles and they're fairly low cost. Everything I've read about them is positive.

Depends on the setup. Scope choice starts with rifle purpose.

My hunting AR has a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x40. If you are looking for a 'tactical' AR scope look at the low power or reflex/red dot style scopes.

Go with the set up that the guys whose life depends on it use: An Aimpoint CompM4s. Add an Aimpoint 3X Mag, and you have a set up for both defense and hunting.

Agree with Cricket and RobDog. I have both on two different ARs.

Hard to beat aimpoint products, even harder to pay for. Smile
