Opinions on m&p 15 scope

[Farmall1066]

Recently purchased the magpul m&p 15 and was looking for good optics. My range I need for the scope varies. Any suggestions

How much are you wanting to spend? Is this for hunting, range, 3 gun?

Also what distances are you planning on shooting?

I have used red dots for CQB carbine matches and steels on my 15-22. The Primary Arms works fairly well, but Aim Point and EOTech have much better glass, that's where I am headed next.

I normally use a Burris MTAC for 3gun. Most matches I shoot are 7 yards to 200 yards. I usually just keep it on 4x and it works well enough. I have made 500 yard shots with this scope, but it really lacks adequate magnification beyond 250 yards.

No one can make a suggestion with that generic of a question. Are you looking for magnified? What distances are you shooting? Are you looking for fast target acquisition or long distance accuracy? What are you comfortable with when shooting irons? Out to 200m or do you feel you need magnification for that?

Looking for hunting mostly , something in the $250-$300 range.
And better then a 4x9-30

Also in 200-300 yard range

I really like my Redfield Revolution 3x9. Good price, glass and eye relief. Made in the USA. Redfield Revolution Riflescopes

I mounted mine on a Larue LT 104. A good mount is just as important as the optic.

For the 5.56 platform M&P, I prefer fixed power magnification over variable power scopes ... but this fits my purpose for the caliber. I use the Eotech XPS 3-0 with the G33 magnifier on my MP15TS. For the 7.62 platform M&P, I use the Vortex Viper PST first focal plane series scope in 6-24x50mm with MOA reticle with the Vortex Razor reflex scope for backup/close range.

When I talk to folks about scopes, I rarely hear anyone chime in on warranty and after-sales support. This is the first thing I look at when I purchase anything ... how a company treats you after they have taken your money. Companies like Leupold and Vortex are very committed to after-sales support ... and they also make great main-stream products that fit the budget and purpose of most users compared to specialty companies like Eotech and US Optics that focus on professionals. Semi-automatics are very rough on optics. If you are more than a hobbyist shooter, the probability that you will encounter an issue with your optic somewhere down the line is high. My experience with Vortex has been top notch ... and their no frills lifetime warranty is the real deal. When I had an issue with one of my scopes, I just dealt with a single individual (Stephanie) who was responsible for my claim from cradle to grave. Stephanie was easily accessed by phone or e-mail throughout the claim. When I had a concern with FedEx over the shipment of the scope (I thought they lost my scope), I e-mailed a note to Stephanie ... she called me on my cell phone not more than 5 minutes after I had sent the message, ready to help. I can tell you from my personal experience, you don't get treated like an old friend when you call Nikon or Bushnell for help.

For that price range for a hunting scope in 3-9x40, I'd suggest a Leupold VX2.

Farmall;

Here's the latest scope I've used:

Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x50 Adjustable Objective Rifle Scope FREE S&H CF2-31023, CF2-31021. Vortex Rifle Scopes.

Vortex has a lifetime warranty, the scope has an illuminated reticle, the 50mm objective gathers lots of light even in lower light conditions, and at $189 is tough to beat. I've got mine mounted in a Larue LT-104 mount.

Leupold Mark AR scopes are nice optics for the money. The turrets are calibrated for 55grain 3000fps loads too.
