Every year my family draws names (pollyanna) with a cap of $75.00. As luck would have it, I drew my brother's name which had just purchased a basic M&P 15-22. He had mentioned to me over the weekend that he wanted some sort of scope for it. Nothing fancy. So now i'm on the hunt for a tactical looking scope for under $75.00 and could use help on finding one. Thanks.

I would say a gift certificate for a place with a good selection of scopes, while you can get scopes that are ok for that price he would be better off finding something that will have a little more quality to it then most 75 buck scopes will have.

I have Bushnell TRS25 red dot scope on mine with a UTG riser. Got it on special for $ 39.00 after the mail-in rebate. Normally, it's about $75-80 bucks. The UTG riser is about $8 from Amazon w/ free shipping.

That is a good idea IMO. I bought the same one but didn't get a MIR. I paid $65 for mine and that was pretty good since I regularly see them around the $80 range. Cabela's had them on sale.
