Budget AR scope & mount?

[detroitmedic]

whatever the Optic, i've always had good luck with the Aero Ultralight SPR mount

december, that Vortex setup there looks pretty legit. Good price too and free shipping.

By the way, if anyone has a setup they want to sell, hit me up.

I'll sell you a Leupold Mark AR 3-9 with their IMS mount, and toss in a free AR! Lol.

Best deal now is the Athlon midas 1-6 which is discontinued and CameralandNY is selling them for $219 (244 with scopecoat cover), versus the normal $600. It is a great illuminated scope.

Midway has the Vortex cantilever mount on sale for $72

Re-visiting this thread, I'm a little confused.
do posters miss the first word in the thread ? in capitol letters, in the title of the thread ?

" BUDGET " is what I see/ read ..

guess there's some interpretation necessary, but in most cases I read, when a poster requests suggestions or recommendations for a budget item..
posters are quick to forget what is probably a key word for the OP.. that price is a key consideration.

Budget is subjective, optics are not cheap so what is budget. To some budget optics are $300 (OP in this case), to some it is $1000 and to others it is $50. Read the second post in the thread, where someone asked what is budget. In the 5th post a $300 system seemed priced right by the OP ($190 scope and $72 mount plus tax/shipping). So where are the recommendations off?

I ended up going with the Nikon Buckmasters II 3-9x40 and the Monstrum Tactical High Performance Cantilever Dual Ring mount.

Out the door from Amazon, I paid around $135. So obviously this is low budget stuff, but I figured it's worth a try at that price.

Have not mounted these yet, but will put a review up here once I do and put some rounds down range.

Thanks to everyone for the input.

I am with him on the Nikon 1-4 scope m-223, I have 3, 1 mounted with a Burris P.E.P.R., and 2 with a Monstrum Tactical. They both hold zero very well. Nikon 1-4 is going on Natchez right now for about 150, and the Monstrum mount is about 30 on Amazon for the 1 inch mount.
