I'm looking to replace my traditional scope on my AR to a holographic unit. Unfortunately, with baby pending, I won't be getting an Eotech or Acog immediately. Please spare me the "get what you pay for" platitudes for it's simply not in the budget just yet. My AR is a flat top if that helps.
I see NCstar and have two of their rifle scopes and they are nothing like my Leupold on my hunting rifle, so I know that. However, in the budget realm of $150 or so, is there one that clearly rises above the rest? It will likely get traded away or swapped out for something better once bonus season rolls around after the holidays, but for now, I'd like something to hold me over and want to start practicing the two eyes open shooting techniques for next years coyote/rabbit/squeak season(s).
With the kid coming, I will likely just be a range rat for a year or so because the weekends with the boys out in Eastern Oregon will be taking a back seat until things stabilize. First child, don't know what to expect besides lots of sleep deprivation.
