Advice and looking for a scope for an AR
SI Eagle:
I am basically a novice when it comes to an AR but my son just picked up a Windham Weaponry AR .223 and I have no idea what kind of scope it should have. He wants to use it for coyotes and such so I am not sure if it should have a standard scope or a red dot type? Any suggestions and don't want to spend more than a couple hundred at the most and no opposed to buying a good used scope (would actually prefer it). Any advice or anyone that has a good used one would be appreciated. Thanks

Personally, I would pick up a decent bdc reticle scope for the caliber. Should be plenty of options in that price point....3x9.

Dependi g what you want to do but... I have used the Nikon Varmint reticle bff and like it. I gave also used the illuminated 1x4 Bushnell first plane at scope that is used in many 3 gun competitions. It was kind of cool because on 1x it acted like a red dot, and on 4 power it had bullet drop out to 400 yards ish. Several companies make this style.

If he only wants to use it for Coyotes and other varmint shooting, go with a good scope as the others have recommended.
If he also wants to use it for Home Defense where you would need a quicker on-target time sand more forgiving eye-relief, I would go with one of the 2nd focal plane adjustables.
I have an MTAC 1x4x24, it works great for this. If I was to buy again, I would consider the Steiner PX4xi. The Steiner glass is a bit better than my MTAC.

A 1-4x will stretch an AR a long ways and still be usable for up close stuff. If not using for up close work, then a 3-9x or 2.5-10x is perfect on an AR.
