It's finally happened. In the bright southwestern sun my eyes just fatigue too quickly or don't see adequately for irons and red dots. Even my beloved Trijicon MRO was an exercise in eye pain focusing on the dot, target, and brightly illuminated desert. I borrowed a Nikon AR scope from my girlfriend and I liked the easy contrast between cross hairs and target, and the fact that the light transmission cut down on the brightness of the sun while conveying enough light to the eye to allow me to easily acquire each target. After returning the scope to her, I went shopping.
I went to the local LGS and bought a Leupold stock #115388 Mark AR MOD 1 Rifle and a quick detachable Burris mount to "get me by" while I shop for something better.
Note that I did not buy it from Amazon, I'm just posting the link so you can follow along as to which scope I got:

The quick detach Burris mount I got seems considerably less than combat grade, but should work until I decide if I like this optic or not.

Once again I'm only posting Amazon's link so you can see which one it is.
I'm a newbie to low power variables.
If it were you, and you wanted to upgrade your scope and QD mount options from what I got, what would you choose and why?
Please post a link to both the scope and mount, and tell us why you chose what you did.
Thanks!
