My R25 should be in today or tomorrow. Its my first AR and i am looking for help. Its going to be a deer hunting rifle, but I would like to have the ability to shoot 300-500 yards if i ever got a wild hair. What rings should i get that are $100 or under and what type should I go with, one piece setup, raised, etc? Also looking at scopes, nothing less than a 3-12 or 4-16, $350 or less. Want something good in low light conditions as well, what objective size should I consider? I am itching for a 50mm objective but not sure how it would fit on this rifle. Mostly used for blind hunting and target shooting, so weight won't be an issue. Thanks for any information

Any help?

I can't help you much on a scope,I spend more than $350 for mine. Natchez Shooters Supply usually runs a good deal on the 3-15x50 Weaver Super Slam scope,it would serve you well for a little more money.
I run a 1/2" riser with medium height Burris Signature Zee rings on all my AR style rifles. You can clear a 50mm objective lens easily with them.

Thanks! Any info is appreciated.

On my R-25 I used a Burris PEPR 30mm with a Bushnell Elite 2.5x10 Illuminated reticle. Worked nice but I think it was a little more than $350. Great shooting guns, just heavy.

Thanks cos, anyone else?

I would go with the PEPR. IMO you are asking a lot for a scope that is good in low light, with the zoom range you want, at the price you want to pay.

My dad is running the Burris single piece http://www.cabelas.com/product/Burris-AR...2896&rid=20

And the Vortex Hog Hunter http://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Crossfire-3-12x56mm-Riflescope-CF2-31049/dp/B00HYRGZNS

This is set up on his AR-10 308. It's a great setup and the scope gathers a ton of light. if you want to do any night time hunting I would highly suggest this scope because of the 56mm objective

I use Leupold Mark 2 mounting system. It comes in 1 inch and 30mm, I have this on my both my AR-10's and love it.

Primary Arms has the Burris PEPR QD on sale for $70, very good price. I have these on several ARs and like them. If you don't want a once piece mount, the Burris Xtreme Tactical are inexpensive and can have high enough models to get the scope in line.

Burris PEPR
