What scope is on your AR-15

[SJ72]

I just got my first AR-15. It is a Rock River 5.56 mm with a Sabre Defense 20 inch stainless barrel with a 1/8 twist. Here is a photo.

Now I need a scope. My question is what scopes are you guys using on your AR? Will a regular hunting scope work best, or is there a tactical scope that would work well on coyote's? Also what are the best rings to get?

I have two Zeiss Conquest 4by10 on my AR and Volquartsen and a Kahles on my other AR. I like them a lot.

SJ72: Nice rifle. My AR has a Leupold Vari-X II 3-9x 50mm. But I hunt open country too. I'd go lower power if I had more tight cover.

Have an old Weaver 2x10x40 on my sweet sixteen and son has a Simmons 3x12x40 on his sweet sixteen. Both have done a good job so far. We always leave them on the lowest power for fast arrivals and running shots, can always turn one up for long range shots, but can't turn one down quiclky if yote is already almost in your lap.

An older Burris 2-7 compact with ballistic plex reticle. Stays on 2x most of the time but its nice to have a little power when you need it. Covers the range of .223 nicely in a small liteweight package. Dont know why they quit making them.
Thats an extremely nice rifle you have there!

I have a Burris 4.5x14 Ballistic plex on mine, I had a simmions 3x9 on my M-4 and that worked great now I have the DPMS sweet 16 with the Burris.

I have three scoped ARs. One sports a Sightron 4-16x, one has a Sightron 3-12x, and on the other is either a 2-7x or an EO-Tech, depending on the area I will be in..

In the event I'm headed for a PD town, they all get a boost in optics.

Both of mine wear Leupold VX-II 3-9x50's..

i dont wanna "hi-jack" this thread but i just bought a .308 and hoping to put a scope on it but i am having trouble figuring out what power to buy. I am looking at the buckmasters and the 4.5-14x40 is a really good value, but will 4.5 be low enough to get on a coyote hauling but towards me?

A buddy just got a buckmaster scope on his AR its a nice scope I don't think you could go wrong. i have a Browning 4-12X40 on my AR, which I beleive is a Bushnell 3200 elite.

I really like it too.

 

[SeekingTradDeer]

I think 4x is the best scope made for a fixed power with a 6X close behind it.

I've got a Leapers(was on the Bushmaster when I got it) It'll soon be changed the Leapers isn't worth throwing out in the yard and shooting.

 

[WY_AR]

I have a sightron 4-16x42 on my 20" RRA coyote and a i have a leupold 6.5-20x40 on my RRA 20" varmint

The coyote is my calling rifle and i pack a shotgun is why i have a higher power scope on it otherwise i would probably go with a 10x max

I'm using a Nikon Monarch Gold 1.5x6x42 on my AR. It very easy to get on target with bright clear optics. Works great unless you're shooting predators over 300 yds.
