I have a flat top AR I want to set up for hog hunting. I am trying to figure out what type of optic I want on it. Not really looking for another eotech. 150 yards or so is the furthest I’d be shooting. Looking to spend $500 or less. What does the TFF say?

I got this exact one and really like it. Not sure you can do better for $320.

for a daylight scope you can't do better than the vortex hog hunter, awesome scope imo. with the lighted reticle you can hunt from can't see to can't see, it gathers a lot of light in low light. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-crossfire-ii-3-12x56-ao-hog-hunter-vbrite-moa-riflescope.htmlI also have a streamlight green light for after dark if needed, works awesome with the red dot in the reticle.

This. Don't own one personally, but have heard countless great reviews about these.

This is also a good option.

Buddy of mine put a Burris Fullfield 3x9 on his and I was shocked at the clarity of the glass. For $150 that would be hard to beat.

Personally I would go with some mid range glass in 50mm and max it out with maybe 12x power. 14-15x power wouldn’t be bad for some of those longer shots. I’m tired of my 1-6x and 3-9x scopes on my ARs, but still enjoy shooting my 4-14x Burris scope on my heavy AR.
