[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 579402, member: 13311"] The trijicon 1-4x24 is perfect for your app. if it's in your budget($850). Great glass and super fast reticle with no batteries. If you need something cheaper try a Leupold vx-r 1.24-4($450) or Nikon M223 1-4x20 or Burris Fullfield Tac 30 1.25-4(both under $300). As far as lights go, try a high lumen cree led light like a Ultrafire wf 502 or wf 900(ebay for about $40), they're about the size of a regular flashlight with a 1 inch tube for easy mounting. I have a 502 (700 lumen) and it's good for 100-150 yards easy. Don't get hung on magnification, I watched my dad shoot coyotes for years out past 300 with a 1960s era Weaver k4. With todays better glass a good 4x will get you a lot farther than you think. I've rigged up several ARs in times past but moved on to other things, and I've shot a lot of Texas hogs, but I think 1 good scope and 1 good light is all you need. Too many accessories may just bog you down. Hope I helped and good luck. Shag [/QUOTE]
