For what it is worth, I prefer not to spend alot on glass. I have a 4-12x40Leupold VX II on my hunting rig. (Remington 700 classic (BDL), 7mm Rem Mag). I hunt both mule deer and whitetail, ususally taking shots from 150m to 300m. My "medium range" AR-15 has a Leupold MK IV 4.5-14x40 mildot reticle. I shoot paper out to 600m with that weapon due to the lack of ranges with anything deeper.
For a beginner, these scopes will suit you perfectly. Anything more and you are wasting your money IMO.
I would agree with others who have posted here stating that iron sights would serve you best until you know your weapon and are able to aquire the neccessary muscle memory for accurate shooting.
Happy shooting!
