The Acog is more designed for combat applications than hunting in my

I would agree with you 100%. . .I was just looking for a more compact scope that fit the character of the AR. . .but for that kinda money I will be more than happy to stick with a more traditional scope!
I always say you can't go wrong with a Luepy vxIII. I prefer the target ret on my guns and if you know how to or learn to use the mil dot its a very effective scope.

Thanks for the suggestion. . .right now I have a Burris Fullfield II (4.5-14x) on my Weatherby Vanguard in .22-250 that I am SUPER happy with. . .with that combination I was able to shoot a .392" 3-shot group at 100 yards and a 1.9375" 5-shot group @ 200 yards using "cheap" Winchester USA 45 gr. JHP's. . .not too shabby!!! Especially considering it's the "cheap" Vanguard, the action isn't bedded, the barrel isn't free floated, and the trigger pull is a little on the heavy side. . .oh and when I was sighting the gun in I hadn't shot a rifle in about 10 years. . .for a $600 rifle/scope combo that's DANG good in my book!!!
I guess I'll have to do some shopping around. . .I thought that since I was looking at a fixed power scope it would be a little cheaper. . .well I may end up getting a variable 3-9x now.
