I have that scope on my AR308 and like it a lot. That said I suggest you take a look at the Primary Arms ACSS scopes. Quicker and easier to range and get on target faster than anything else I've used.

Take a look at this for under $300 - First focal plane and illuminated reticle

I've been pretty happy with my Primary Arms ACSS 1x8 scope.

I've been pretty happy with my Primary Arms ACSS 1x8 scope.

I'm seriously thinking about putting those on my AR15's I have set up for patrol type of use and for my AR308 as well. Might sell the Patrol to help fund that change.

I started out with a strike eagle 1-6 and immediately realized this gun has far more potential

Here is a good review of the 4x14 PA scope as he sets up a budget 1,000 yard rifle system.

Rex did the Sniper 101 series and has the skills to match.

One point - an ACSS reticle isn't for everyone. If you like the classic cross hair style that 3x9 Patrol is really good and IMO you would have to spend a lot more to get an improvement. The turrets track real well and the fire dot is really good at helping to get you on target quickly if you are hunting or in a DMR application. The glass is also really clear and the scope is very solid. No buyers remorse whatsoever on my part. I did mount it on a 20 MOA base.

I run the PA 1x6 on my AR15.
Both exceed my capabilities.
For the price range they have worked out well for me.

The ACSS is kinda like targeting for dummies, which also works out well for me too.

I have a vortex hst 4-16 on my sig patrol 308 and it's pretty nice. About 550 on optics planet last I checked...

God bless everyone with good eyesight. I went with 4-12×40 for my Ruger Hunter. It's a Leopold but forget the name. I think it was the same price as some 3x9s. Just not as fancy. Pretty light as well.

I also went 4-12 on my PA10 with a Nikon Buckmaster. Not so upscale but works for me.

I have a 3-15 Vortex PST Gen II on my 16" 308 AR. One of the best scopes I own and I have a few scopes that are twice as expensive. Yes, a little over your budget but I think they are worth it.


Edit: Just to add a little more info.... I was a little skeptical that I would be really happy with this scope because I wanted to try to shoot my 308 AR at 1000 yards. Most of my guns that I shoot at that distance have 20-27 power scopes. Although my gun is not real consistent at that range, I don't feel like the scope is holding me back in any way.

Check out the Leupold VX-Freedom AR. One of the options is basically a Patrol with a capped windage dial and a slightly different reticle. I picked up mine from Midway for just under 500.

VX-Freedom AR 3-9x40 Illum. FireDot Tri-Mil

The VX®-Freedom® 3-9x40mm AR model was designed for the shooter who wants to get a little more distance out of his or her AR. It's lighweight and rugged, and the 3-9 model provides the ideal magnification for mid to long-range engagements.

Athlon has some products in your price range and are worth a look. Pick your price range and magnification desired and go from there.

I think this is out of production, but you can find them once in awhile. I had two, and recently sold one of them . Very nice scope.

I highly recommend that you do not get anything Nikon. They are out of the US market and have no repair parts. I recently had an experience with them with a Nikon P-223. They can't replace simple turret caps and are trashing the scope and offering me a credit at their Nikon store. I told them to pound sand and after several weeks of back and forth they final have agreed to pay me what its worth.

But I don't have the check in hand yet.
