So I'm getting an upper from brandon90210 soon and I'm looking for a scope. I want to stay under $300. I'm looking for a scope that will be good mostly for hunting. Te farthest shot I will ever take is 500 yards. I would like to have a mil dot reticle and I think matching mil turrets instead of MOA. What say you?

for mil-mil Nikon check with SWFA, usually beat Midway prices especially if thar one on the sample list. Plus a couple of their guys are forum members
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

In that price range, nikon is probably the best deal. Probably something with at least 9x or more max zoom I also agree that u should look at SWFA. Very VERY prompt service everytime I've dealt with them. And there are a couple guys here on the forum who are always willing to answer questions.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

Other than a heck of a deal on a use scope I can't think of a mil/mil scope on that price range, add another $100 and you can get what you're looking for.

A falcon menace would be right up that alley for around $390 and you'll get FFP

I'm just going to say, you'll never regret spending good money on good glass.
Good luck.
