Best scope for around 200

[saxy415]

Hey guys, I just got my dpms lr308 in today, and am in need of a scope. I want to keep it around the $200 range. I will be using this rifle for hunting, and some long range shooting. I doubt I will use it for anything over 300 yards. The main things I am looking for is a scope that will stay accurate and let a lot of light in. Any help that you guys could give would be great.

What about a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40, have you taken a look at them? I have a couple, and have no complaints with them, and they are around your price range.

I have heard good things on the Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40. I purchased one, but have not mounted it yet.

I looked and looked for about a year for one so I could see the bullet holes appear on the target
I love my Mueller
it was the best 198 dollers I spent towards my Habar

I would spend some money on good rings and mount but muller is a good scope
this is what I got

I heard good things about the bushnell elite 3200's as well. I went to Cabelas not too long ago and compared the Nikon Buckmaster, Elite3200, and Leupold VXII (all in a close price range) and the Buckmaster was by far the clearest of those 3, at least to me.

Thanks for the help. I have decided to go with the buckmaster. Now the question is, what mounts should I go with, any suggestions?

If you got an AR10 with a flattop, you only need a set of High or Xtra high rings to start with, and if you wish to, you can get one of those fancy LaRue QD mounts in the future.

I personally like the Millet Angle-loc, windage adjustable rings, and they can be found at lots of places. Just make sure you get them tall enough so you can still "rack" the charging handle.
