So my youngest son is getting his first AR 5.56 for Christmas. Needing to scope it for him and unsure what to get. The budget is $200 and the use will be some night hunting, and general plinking. I have considered an illuminated reticle scope because I think he would think it’s cool and it would be nice for night hunting. The scope I’ve looked at is the Vortex crossfire II with V Bright reticle. I’m sure the glass isn’t anything spectacular though.
On the flip side, I feel I would get a much better scope if I went a standard reticle. Considering either a Redfield Revolution 2-7x33, Leupold 2-7x33, Burris Fullfield II, or Vortex Diamondback. I’m also considering a 1-4 series if scopes too. Just not sure which way to head with this. Any advice?
