Keifer,

I've shot an M4 with the Bushnell Holosight, but wasn't too impressed with it. Don't get me wrong, it's well made but I'd go with RECOIL's suggestion and get an Aimpoint M/XD over the Holosight. One thing to consider about the Trijicon ACOG Reflex is that the tritium light source has a lifespan of 10 years. So basically, after 10 years, you have a useless scope. Although I don't have any personal experience with the ACOG 1.5x24, I have heard good things about it. Personally, I have a US Optics SN-4 on my rifle. It's not cheap but the glass/optics are second to none. It's 1-4x variable scope. At it's highest power, the reticle is a circle with a precision dot in the middle. At it's lowest power, the dot fades within the circle. It's an extremely robust scope and excellent for fast target acquistion. But if money is a consideration, RECOIL is right in suggesting the Aimpoint M/XD. I've shot a Springfield M1A Scout with the Aimpoint. It was very impressive, but you're limiting yourself because it is only a fixed 1x power scope. And if you plan on using it for coyote hunting, you may need a variable powered scope. Hope that helps.
