I have a DPMS Oracle and typically have Leupold scopes on all of my rifles. After reviewing all of the available options and prices, I chose a Vortex Diamond Back, 4 x 16. I came close to ordering it from Optics Planet but, happened to been in Huntsville, AL when Cabela's had it grand opening at their new store.
$229.00 for the scope and Leupold QRW mounts on an ARMS riser that I already had in my possession. The scope compares favorably with the older Leupold Vari XII models and has been 100% reliable and repeatable.
I did come across the Vortex Diamond 4x16 a couple of times. I checked it up on Amazon and it did have high reviews. I might go with that one. Thanks for your recommendation, tn hp!

First off, Welcome aboard! I have a DPMS LR-308 that I run an old Nikon Monarch (3-9 x 40) on and shoot to medium range (500 - 700 yards). Almost wish I'd gone to the higher power (4-16x42) scope for longer ranges but since most of my shooting with the AR is at 400 and under I don't really need it. I have run the VX2 series scopes in the past and they are exceptionally crisp for their price range but one recommendation I would make is if you want to reach way out (over 600 yards), look at a 50mm objective lens. The added weight and cost is more than made up by the light gathering capabilities of the bigger glass. I currently run the Monarch 3 (3-15x42) and 5 (4-16x42) series scopes on all of my long range rifles scopes and they work very well out to 1000 but I can tell as I get older that I'll need to re-think my choices! Enjoy the rifle, they are addictive!
Thanks, Navy Chief! I'll definitely look into the Monarch 5 (4-16x42).

I'm planning on buying an Ar-10 and was wondering if anyone owns one and what scope you use for it? I've read a couple of articles and the scope I'm leaning towards to is the Leupold VX-2 4-12x40mm. Any recommendations folks?

What's going on everyone! A friend referred me to this forum and so far, everything looks good! I'm a hunter and currently own a couple of rifles including the Ar-15 :)
VORTEX CROSSFIRE II 2X7 VARIABLE

I run the Vortex Crossfire II on my 308 rifle and it works perfectly. It's fully multi-coated lenses, making it the best 308 scope for big game hunting. On my Ar10, I run a Vortex Optics Diamondback 4-12x40 for my close range shots. If you are looking for a close-to-mid-range shot with the Ar-10, I definitely highly recommend the Vortex Diamondback.
But to answer your first question, the Crossfire is definitely a scope worth purchasing.
