Howdy all! Been following the board for a few months and finally registered. I bought my first AR-15 about 2 months ago decided I would like to try hunting with it in the future - so I ordered the 450 upper a few days ago. I already have a ACOG TA11 for my .223 upper, but I would like a more powerful scope for hog hunting out to 150 yards. Since I already spent some big money on the ACOG, I would appreciate some suggestions on a cheaper scope for the 450 upper. I'm pretty sure I want a 3x9x40, but just can't decide on the model. I'm willing to spend up to around $300 - and I also would like to hear about good scope mounts. I have a LaRue for the ACOG and love it, so I am leaning towards another LaRue mount for a new scope.
Thanks!!
