Looking for optic suggestions

[hlb14]

I recently picked up a ruger American in 300 blackout and I'm trying to select an optic for it.  Primarily this will be shot in the back yard for fun, max distance is 100 yards.  I tried a red dot and it worked just fine, but I'd like the ability to add magnification to i.d. critters like foxes and coyotes out to 300 yards.  My one and only stipulation is that the optic not be made in china.  And I'd rather not add a magnifier to the red dot.

Maybe something from the Leupold VX-Freedom line? Inexpensive and made in Oregon.

I've got 3 of these on different rifles & not only are they insanely clear, they're also bulletproof. I've dropped, dragged, bumped, knocked & slammed them into all kinds of stupid accidents & not one has lost zero. My .308 knock around gun has had at least 2000 rounds through it & the scope is 100% exactly where I zeroed it.

I recommend them to literally anyone who'll listen.

Might consider Vortex Crossfire II. Likely one for you under 2 bills. American Owned, Veteran Owned, Family owned and operated. VIP warranty and good customer service.

A lot of Vortex scopes are made in the Philippines, but some of the lower end stuff is Chinese.

While I didn't set a budget, I don't mind paying for a quality product.  I do think that's a bit more than I'm willing to put into this project lol...

To be fair, he didn't put a price limit on it. It would be funny to see that scope on that rifle. I've seen you run a 10k+ rifle by the way.

Yeah, but to be fair, I'm f'kin loaded.....

Not everyone has my insanely Scrooge McDuckian disposable budget*

 

 

*One or more of these statements may not be 100% true. The rifle in question wasn't mine. I also might've shot myself with it a bit.

I have always had good luck with the Nikon P series scopes and they can usually be found well under $200.   Philippine made IIRC.
