What do you baws think about the scopes that have a reflex on top of it? Example All the reviews are really good, but it seems like it would be really cumbersome.

I think you just have to pick one - a low power, traditional magnified scope (2x7, 3x9, etc.) or reflex/holographic. If you want the best of both worlds get a reflex with a magnifier.
What you don't want to do is go overboard.

Yeah that's exactly why I'm skeptical. I'm not a tactibro and this looks like a lot to worry about. I want somewhere around a 4x.

I just put the Nikon 300BO scope on my AR - nice glass to start with and the BDC is pretty accurate

You can get an aimpoint/eotech with a 3x mag piece and have the best of both worlds as a poster mentioned. Gets expensive though.

I just bought the Nikon P-308 and rings for my S&W M&P10. It has the BDC. Have not shot yet bc the rifle is on backorder until Christmas (Cabela's)

Go full throttle and get an ACOG.

The one you showed on there looks like a piece of crap. Then again, I could be biased since it's not one from a big player manufacturer. I would never put an actual laser on a rifle unless I were on an assault team and we were using IR lasers. A magnified optic will give you plenty of accuracy alone to not need a dumb laser.
This is generally how I set up my ARs:
16": no magnification - red dot; low magnification 1-4x
18": 3-9x magnified optic
20": 4-12x magnified optic
As you lengthen the barrel you add weight to the upper which would mean less mobility and more of a chance of you shooting it from the prone position. Plus the longer your barrel the greater your effective distance.
As for brands, I would get something that is in the same class as your rifle, meaning, I wouldn't put a Nightforce optic on a Bushmaster. If you get a high dollar rifle, get high dollar glass. If your rifle is just an average one, I've been very happy with my Redfield Revolution scope on my 20" AR. Shot 1/2MOA last Friday with it and that gun has seen thousands of rounds. The Redfield has impressed me.

I like my 1-4x24 on my carbine. Though it could honestly be a 1x and 4x because I don't use the magnifications in between. I think I would be perfectly happy with a fixed 4x on my carbine.
