I have a rifle that I built from a PSA SLR, with a 16" barrel.  It has rails under the removable carry handle, but none on the fore stock.  I would like to mount optics on it, for hunting and range use.  I would like to keep the price down and would prefer something that has a bit of magnification to it (maybe up to 4x).

What would y'all recommend?  I've looked on EE and didn't really see anything that jump out and said, "pick me!"

Try looking at some of the stuff from primary arms, they have a few options that might fit what you need. What kind of price range are you thinking about?
ETA: you might also want to ask this in the optics section

I posted this link earlier for a great deal on the Burris AR-332. Im not affiliated with this store at all but I did buy this scope. I got it today and it is really nice. the price is 259 and Burris has a 100 dollar rebate so the final cost is 159. this scope sells for around 300 most places.
here is the link where I bought it.

I have a https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary_Arms_1_4X_24_Illuminated_Scope_PA14X_p/pa14x.htm and it's a nice. inexpensive 1-4x with illuminated reticle.  I recommend getting their deluxe mount with it.

I'd like to keep this under $250.  I just got through looking at the links above and I'm leaning towards the 1-4X at Primary,  although the 6X is also interesting.

Admins, if you could move this to Optics, I'd appreciate it.

Pay once cry once, Burris or PA is my best advice for you. The rail under the carry handle is part of the upper receiver. You can extend this rail out further if you want buy purchasing a railed hand guard.

I'm not a fan, the eye box is to small and the illumination isn't bright enough. Save a little more and get a Burris Tac-30 1-4x or MTAC 1.5-6x. I have all three and my favorite is the MTAC 1.5-6x.

I didn't go with the railed hand guard because I didn't want the temptation for this:
