[QUOTE="Singularis, post: 2353764, member: 32412"] The main thing you want for hunting is something with super clear glass and great light transmission, for making shots when animals come out (pre-dawn and after dusk). This is really the most important feature, way before power or reticle or anything. But when it comes to power, for hunting, I like having a little more magnification available for spotting and whatnot than you would get with a 1-4x like some are recommending... it doesn't help your accuracy any, but it sure helps you see things better. I can kill things just fine with 3 or 4x (or 1x for that matter), and I definitely don't care for the huge, heavy celestial observation devices some people put on their hunting rifles, but I don't like being limited to 4x either. My personal preference is a 2-7x. I also like Leupold... they don't make anything with bad glass. A Leupold Rifleman 2-7x33 would be around your price range. On an AR, you will also need a cantilever mount if you actually want to be able to get into a good shooting position, instead of having to awkwardly pull your head back on the stock to get eye relief. A $60 Primary Arms extended mount will do you just fine. [/QUOTE]
