Does this look like a good scope for an AR? I cant afford to fancy and I was offered a good deal on one

Don't waste your money on either of those. The best budget scopes that are actually worth buying are by Primary Arms. TONS of positive reviews. I mean 1,000's! Check out their website. They have the best customer service I've ever received. I bought a used PA scope from a guy off an AR forum. It evidently was messed up. I called PA, told them the situation & they mailed me a new 1 even though I bought it used!

Got to agree with the above ! Primary Arms 1-4 are a nice scope for the money ! Might also check out the Millett DMS-1. They are teh same scope with different reticles and names ! up

Don't waste your time with cheap optics.

+1 to Primary Arms, 1-4x. I loved mine, the only reason I sold it was I got a good deal on an Eotech and that fit my parameters better.

No, he hasn't. IDK him but I'd bet a shiny new Nickel I'm correct!

Primary Arms has good optics and even better customer service. Try it and if you dont like I bet they would let you return it. Worth a shot.

I've been to PA's shop- they are just plain awesome people. I had the 1-4 on my Spikes and it was a great optic for the money.

There's a youtube video on the 1-4. I have the 4-14x44 illuminated reticle on my AR. I'd of gotten the 1-4 but my right eye is crappy & my daughter will be using it as her first deer/pig gun.

Well there ya' go! If fits your needs & your price range. I'd try to find it somewhere other than optic's planet though. They'll sell you something they don't have in stock & after 2 weeks w/no shipping info. you'll find out it's now 'backordered' w/no ETA! It's happened to me & 2 of my friends.

Another Brand to Look into is Vortex, they make some pretty good sights in your price range and thier CS is Top-Notch.
