Im looking to branch beyond my Aimpoint ML3 to something a little bigger and better. This scope will be used for ARs and M1A for stepping out further than the red dot. Id love to see what you guys would recommend to narrow my search. Ive already been looking at Leupolds, Trijicons, and some others. Im anticipating at least over the $1,000.00 range im just looking for a really nice piece to have for a while. Thanks!

Scope recommendations?

I'm quite happy with me Meopta K-Dot 1-4x. The dot is easy to see in bright sunlight and the scope is clear and bright. They run about $800 regular price, but I scored one for 600 on gunbroker. If I had unlimited dollars, I'd take a look at one of the new 1-8x scopes on the market.
I am not a scope expert at all.
The counter sniper Military contract overruns are a great deal right now. They are top quality. I recently sold a few of these and got great feedback. One of them is on a 50bmg. Do some research on these before shelling out $1400.

Look here and let me know if you want a price on anything. A few of the in stock models are listed on my website.

I think a 1-4, 1-8 if you have the cash, are an awesome all around AR optic. I have a Burris XTR 1-4 that I really like. I am also looking at the Trijicon Accupoint 1-4's, I like the idea of no battery illumination on a 1-4, but the lack of a BDC reticle kind of bugs me.

I think I am going to take a much closer look at Leupolds line.

I like the Leupold because I can keep it at a low power and keep both eyes open, it also has a fairly long eye relief. Easy to up the magnification if you need a long shot. Also, the dot, is both bright at the highest setting, but still very small for accuracy. I do also have a fixed 4x and while it is fine for mid distance stuff, I find it to be a little slower on the real close stuff, say under 50 yards, as I have trouble using both eyes at once. I will admit my 4x is not as nice as the Trijicon, but after having it for a while, when I could afford better, I went with the Leupold.
