What Scope for AR15 varmint gun

Just wondering what scope yall think I should use for my AR. I'm using it mainly for Hogs and Coyotes, and don't wanna spend too much on an expensive tactical scope, but I'd rather have something like that than just a regular rifle scope. Any ideas? I'd like to have magnification, and maybe a day/night scope if I can find one thats not too expensive

So a Trijicon ACOG is out of the price range???
Do you have flat top?
Do you have BUIS?

Have you considered something like a 1.5X or 2X red dot then co-witness that with an eotech magnification module?

I looked at the Trijicon ACOG, and its awesome. If I can come up with the money, thats what I'm gonna get, but I was hoping there was something similar to that for cheaper. Ya I have a flat top. Its a remington R-15, which is a bushmaster with Remingtons camo and name on it. Its "optics ready", so they didn't put iron sites on it. Whats BUIS? I'm still learning about the ARs

For a nice shooter like that, I wouldn't go less than a leupold vari x II or a burris fulfield in 3-9 x 40. Or a comparable brand.

You can pick up a decent non-tactical scope for under $200.
I have a 16" and a full sized rifle scope will fit, but is only a couple inches from the front sight. Looks a bit odd...

I have a couple extra scopes at home, but I just didn't like the look of a normal rifle scope on it
