    This is what I use on my AR it works great. I have had this scope on a Rugger 10-22, 2 AR's, a .375 H&H , and a .458 win mag and it has never failed. On 1x you can look through it with both eyes open for close shots and 3x will get you out to 250-300 with no problem. It's only $180 and free shipping.

    I've killed a ton of hogs using a Redfield 2-7x33 that cost around $140 if I remember. Absolutely no need to spend $1400 on an optic for hog hunting.

    I can't agree more. For the last 5 years I've filled all my deer tags and taken several hogs using a $40 Simmons scope.

    I use it for target up to 200. Inside 100 I don't even need to use magnification.

    Alright gents, what mount do I need to get over my front A2 sight? For the Redfield 2-7x33. I would like something I do not have to lap to fit.

    Just a normal mount, the front sight will cause no problems with the scope.

    The Burris PEPR mount is very nice for the money.

    $600 aint bad for a middle of the road manufacturer

    You just have to be careful with Bushmasters as many of them are equipped with commercial spec buffer tubes and you'll want to upgrade that if you ever want to upgrade the stock

    I'd guess the red dot is a cheapy you'd want to change out ASAP but $600 for a complete rifle isn't a bad price regardless
