I agree completely with iGun on this. Magnification really isn't needed at this range unless the targets are small. A 1-4 zoom or a ACOG should allow you make easy hits at inside of 150 yards.
Irons are another viable option. I was making hits (offhand) on an 18" target at 150 or so (the battery in my rangefinder died) yards with three different battle rifles yesterday. I forgot to add that zero stop is mostly helpful for very long range shooting. It makes it easier to return it back to zero after turning it multiple full rotations. Mine doesn't have it.

If you are in the market for a $2k optic, here's a possibility:
http://www.elcansightingsystems.com/...ole_sights.php I have an Elcan Specter DR 1-4x in 5.56. It was worth every penny. The 1.5-6x 7.62 optic looks like the perfect match for what you are planning on doing with this rifle.

Appreciate all the help and assistance. It will be a nightforce scope due to my astigmatism in my eye. I tried the Eotech and other brand of red dot sights which worked for me out to 50 yards. Could not get the benefit of these sights past 50 yards.
Astigmatism is not bad, but it is enough to have me pick up the nightforce NXS. Decided on the 5.5-22x56 NXS .250moa with Zero Stop. I have the red dot mounted at the 1 o'clock position for close shots and will mount the ND3 Laser Designator above the scope for night illumination. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this decision.

I love the 5.5x22 NXS I have several of them all mounted on heavy rifles. Here is the one I use on lighter rifles. http://nightforceoptics.com/SCOPES_O...10x32_nxs.html

Just got off the phone with optics planet. They have a huge inventory on the nightforce scopes. Ordered the 5-22x50 NXS NP-R1 Zero Stop and should be here hopefully this Saturday with ground shipping.
Nice to know that I did not have to wait the 6 month period.

Did you get Nightforce rings too? Be sure to read mounting instructions! Congratulations!
