Scope for a Bushmaster Predator AR-15?

Well, I ordered me up a AR and have a few months to research a scope. Any suggestions on what to go with?
I will mainly use this as a coyote/varmint rifle. I want to stick with a variable and so far I like the Bushnell Elite 3200 4x12x40 with Mulit-X recticle.
Any feedack for scopes for this particular rifle?

Just some good deals I have come across looking for a scope for myself. I have been told that the "Team Primos" is actually a Monarch scope, not sure if that is true or not but a Monarch is a $400-$450 scope.

Between the choices, the 4200 is the easy choice.
Much better scope.

EB, did you decide which scope to go with? I'm in the market for a scope on my AR and wondering how things worked out for you. I'm thinking about upgrading my 7MM scope and transferring a 3X9X40 Nikon Monarch BDC to the AR. I also have an 3X9X40 Elite 3200 I could use.

I could bring mine over for you to check out Mike. The Nikon swap sounds like it might be the way to go though.

I went with the VX-11 1-4 because with that rifle I'm not going to be shoot real far 250-300 mostly and the scope on weighs 9.2. I wanted to keep it as light as poss.

I ended up finding a used 3x9x40 Ziess Conquest w/Z Plex reticle. It is like new condition and I got it for a great price. Extremely clear and I think it looks nice too!
