Minimum requirements for scopes:
Fully Multi Coated lenses - if manufacturer does not specifically list these exact words, keep looking for another scope.
Internal adjustment - More is better. 50 MOA will barely cut it for a "tactical" rifle (223 or 308 are common chamberings). You should be able to reach 1000 yards from a 100 yard zero without being at the bottom or the top end of the adjustment range. Prefer a 90 or 100 MOA adjustable scope.
Find out what adjustments the scope is actually calibrated in - MOA or MIL or their own - you will need to know when "dialing up". :)
Find out what the mildots are calibrated in as well - MOA/MIL/or their own. You want MOA/MOA or MIL/MIL - don't get a scope that uses a MOA for dial up and MIL for the mildots.
