Looking to spend no more than $300. Can't decide between a tube vs reflex. Sight will be used mostly at the range as well as possibly hog hunting and home defense.

Leaning towards this Vortex Venom 3 MOA

Vortex Sparc AR
Sig Romeo 5
Primary arms Micro

Or add another $100.00 to your budget and get Aimpoint PRO. I'd stay away from a reflex as your primary optic on an AR.

Personally I like the 1-4x scopes on my AR as it gives me quick target acquisition like a red dot on the 1x setting and can extend the range with magnification when needed. Also the eye box on the 1-4 is more forgiving than a prism style red dot scope which makes it easier to use in 3 position shooting for me. All my ARs have a traditional unmagnified red dot or a 1-4x or 1-6x scope. I like the Holosun made red dots you can get for $150-200ish that offers 50k hours of battery life. It's sold as the Sig Romeo 5, Primary Arms advanced Micro dot, Tru-Glo tru-tech, and under Holosun's own name.

Aimpoint PRO. If you have to stay $300 or below, go with a Primary Arms Advanced MRDS.

Vortex strike eagle. You will like the reticle and the zoom option.

Just to offer another option, check out the Vortex Spitfire AR. If you don’t plan on using a magnifier it’s a solid option below Aimpoint/Trigicon. It’s a prism sight so the reticle is etched into the glass. I like mine a lot.

UTG

It can stand up to the recoil of my vepr and costs less than 60 bucks.

Have an aimpoint on a colt... Not that impressive.
