Rifle Scopes Optics for my Bushmaster xm-15 e2s

[shooter4lyfe]

I have done a little research on optics for my very first rifle which is the Bushmaster XM-15 E2S. I dont want to spend a whole lot of money at first until I get into it more. So I was thinking about the Burris AR 332 for my first scope. I only want to shoot about 2-300 yards at first so what does everyone think? I would also like suggestions if that scope would not be a good fit for me

Which Bushy model do you have & what are you using it for? All the new ones say XM-15 E2S on the lower.

I have the BCWA3F16M4 the "patrolman" .223 caliber. I intend to use it for basically target shooting like 200 to 300 yards out.

I think the AR-332 will work well for you. Are you currently only looking at red dot sight? Take a look at the Nikon M-223 series scopes. They are great for target shooting in the 200-300 yard range. The 2-8x32mm is a good one to look at.

I'd suggest you take a look at the Falcon 1.5-5 for a tight budget.
Good value, IR, mil/mil, nice glass

I've got a couple thousand rounds under mine now on a GGG carbine and have no complaints. It's been great for moving targets (coyotes) and works fine at the range too.

Thanks Chase. No, I am actually open to whatever but want just thought the ar 332 would be a better all around scope from short to long range. Do you think the nikon m223 nikoplex would be ok for short and long range shooting? I just checked the nikoplex out online and it sounds like a pretty nice scope and is right in my price range.

This is the model I was referencing:
M-223 2-8x32mm
The parallax is set to 100 yards, so it might be difficult to maintain consistent groups at say 25 yards. But It will work well for all around target shooting from 50-300+ yards.
