I have the Trijicon 1-4 w/ the post reticle on a 16" AR and love it. It is very tough and coyotes at 300 yards is cake. You would probably like one of the crosshair reticle options better for hunting. This is a very reliable, rugged scope but not a lightweight~15 oz. For an additional 4 oz. and a little less $ you could get a SS 3-9 HD. This for me is the perfect hunting scope. A little extra weight for this flexibility and reliability is a cheap price to pay for a superior optic.
