Budget Scope For AR

@200 yards unless your useing a shootNsee target it will be hard to see the holes.
as for cheap or budget scopes.
what is your budget. I been lucky through the years with the sub 125.00 scopes.
although I tend to put quality rings/mounts on. My most recent scope is the hawke airmax ev. All though this model is intended for air rifle. It has proven itself worthy.
their ballistic software and map 6 reticule save you a lot of time figureing out your hold points. You can print out cheat sheets that fit right in the lens cap. I'm been eye balling this one. http://www.hawkeoptics.com/rifle-scopes/varmint-sf.html
http://www.hawkeoptics.com/rifle-scopes/panorama-ev.html or this on. I have come to like the map 6 reticle vs mildot.
Down load the ballistic calculator and play with it. I'm sure most scope manufactures have similar stuff now.....if your data is correct hawke software is very very close.

Budget, if it can be done for around the $100 mark that would be awesome.
I would be using shootnsee targets.
Will the cheap walmart scopes get it done ? http://www.walmart.com/ip/CenterPoint-3-9x32mm-Scope/10248649
Anyone any experience with them ?

I think those centerpoint scopes are pretty cheap, but that's just my opinion.
I think the Simmons line of scopes is better quality for a cheap scope. Sometimes Dick's has Bushnell scopes or other big brands on sale for around $100

I think you will be happier with more than 3-9 magnification. This: https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_4_16X44_Illuminated_Mil_Dot_Scope_p/pa416x.htm plus $20 for their basic mount, is nearly twice your $100 budget, but it is leaps and bounds better quality then the walmart scope you linked.
Primary arms budget optics have a big following on AR15.com, and it has a 1 year warranty that they will stand behind.

If you can - try and save up for a step above cheap - the results will likely be better overall ...
