Looking for something decent in the way of lower-end optics to start my AR out with.

Budget is up to about $250-300. Thought about the Bushnell versions of the ACOG and EOTech sights, though I'm not sure whether to go that route or go with a simple 3x-9x scope of some sort.

I will eventually top it off with something like the EOTech or the Aimpoint.

Thanks in advance!
