max power Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) M&P AR 15/22Looking for a good inexpensive scope for my new toy. I'm a complete noob to optics and don't want to spend too much on something I don't need for such a short range weapon and don't want to waste $ on junk. I'm assuming I need 3-9x40? Trying to keep it under $100. Please purge your optics knowledge below. Edited July 14, 2014 by max power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaston330 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'd look into the Nikon stuff. This to be exact http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JMQ9I2/ref%3Dnosim/?ascsubtag=FWcjcm16&tag=fatwalletcom&linkCode=as1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Bushnell Banner model 713948 is about $80 on average or less on sale. I got mine for $65. It's a 3-9x40mm with the multiplex reticle. I run one on my 10/22 and have no problems hitting stuff out to 300 yards with it.

max power Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks for the input guys. Now for a noob question:Not sure if this makes a difference in scopes or not, but I'd also like to be able to use the flip up sights for close range stuff. Is there a certain type of ring I need to buy to make that possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Not sure you want to put a rifle type scope on that weapon but if you do lets talk this weekend. I have a few in the safe just sitting that we can set you up with for now. Personally i would go a different direction with that firearm but it is all preference.

2talltim Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Here is the one I put on my 10/22 tactical, think I got it for like $60 on Amazon. Fairly inexpensive scope but its super accurate and well made. http://centerpoint.crosman.com/scopes/adventure/CP394RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I second the nikon or bushnell banner. I use a nikon prostaff on my .22 great glass for the money. I have a bushnell on a older glenfield and its also a good cheaper scope. Both should be under a $100. As for rings dont think they make a set of see through rings that would work on a ar platform. Or at least none i can think of off hand. You could swap out irons to a 45° set and tilt the gun to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm probably going with the PA 4-14X44 Mil Mil FFP scope for my AR but it's not considered pricey at $229.99 and has had really good reviews. https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_4_14X44_FFP_Scope_p/pa4-14xffp.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
