[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Looking for first scope

I just got my smith and Wesson m&p 15 sport and now I'm looking for some optics. I bought a bushnell trs 25 red dot and it is fine but I think I want something with magnification. I like the idea of a variable 1x4 or 1x6. My shooting range will be 50 yards to 300 yards. My budget is under $300 so I know I am pretty limited on quality. Here are 2 that I found but I am open to suggestions. Let me know what you think.

Leupold vx hog 1-4x20
Bushnell trophy xlt 1.5-6x42

Leupolds (and Weavers) are often much lighter than their competition, sometimes like 7 ounces or so lighter. That would be a big factor for me.

The VX-Hog (a VX-1 in 1-4x20 with special reticle) will have the better glass of those two, IMHO.
