I am building an AR Varmint rifle and looking for a good quality mount and scope. Would like to spend around $500 or less. Sorry a newbie here so not sure if using proper terminology. Any suggestion and web links welcome.
 
I went the cheap route on the build I just finished because I wanted to shoot it right away instead of saving up for for better glass then I could afford at the moment. I went with an ADM Recon Mount and a Primary Arms 4-14 FFP. It seems to be doing decent so far (But I don't have much time behind the rifle) and the total package was about $400.
 
Another bump for the ADM Recon mounts, plus if you plan to stretch her legs past 800yds, get the 20MOA version. As for your budget.. good luck. I tried that at first and have since spent more on glass than I care to admit to. But, in your range I would say a 10x SWFA SS or 10x Bushnell Tactical. Both are great glass for the cost. Good luck and don't forget to show us pics when she is done!
