Hey guys, Ive been building an ar for around 3 months now. Ive got it almost finished. I have a primary arms red dot that I have had for awhile now and i like it, but I keep seeing pictures of similar rifles with 1-4x scope and it makes me wonder. I mostly shoot this rifle under 100 yards but sometimes id like to stretch it out to 200-300 yards. A 2 MOA dot seems really big at 300 yards. My concern is close range target acquisition, ie home defense. I do have iron sights so I might be ok with a scope and a quick release mount?
Anyway, most of the scopes I have seen have bullet drop reticules and are also illuminated. Ive been looking at scopes like this:

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/725900/...c-reticle-matte
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/126574/...q-reticle-matte
My budget is unestablished, I really could spend 500 dollars if its worth it.
Im really asking for some guidance, what I should avoid, what features are a must, ect.
Thanks alot
