I don't really understand the numbers on scopes too well, I have to admit I'm not sure what the "4-16x50mm" means. I just want to be able to see and hit small things out to maybe 300 yards or so. Paper targets, clay pigeons, soda cans, golf balls, etc., maybe some p. dogs if I get a chance.

My major lust is easy operation. I like the idea of knobs for focusing and adjustments, insead of removing dust caps and using a screwdriver (which I never have).
The 4-16x is the adjustable range of magnification power (fixed power optics will just have one number like 16x50) and the 50 is the diameter of the objective lens (ft lens - in mm). When it comes to AR's I like to keep it as light and compact as possible and theyre better suited for close to midrange shooting so the leupy (or something similar) has my vote there.
