Scope suggestions

[biodsl]

While I haven't hunted with night vision, I feel a decent scope with a 3-9x or 2-10x magnification range and a simple SFP reticle does the trick nicely within 300 yards -- without breaking the bank.

If I was building a hunting AR15 from scratch today, I'd probably get the new SWFA Ultralight 2.5-10x scope with BDC reticle. At only 9.5oz, it seems perfect for a compact or lightweight hiking & backpacking gun:

My favorite scope is an old Gen I Vortex PST SFP 2.5-10x. The reticle might be a little thin for the deep, dark woods, but hey, that's why they make illuminated reticles.

I'm planning to put a SWFA Ultralight BDC on a 5.56 pencil build I'm doing. Waiting for Black Friday.
