Best AR15 scope for the $

I know this post will probably generate varied opinions but I'm looking to buy a new scope for my AR15. What is a good choice without breaking the bank. My budget is $300 plus or minus a few dollars. Would you recommend the new caliber specific scopes? or stay away from them?
I will be using it for general target shooting, coyote, and hog hunting.
Thanks

Most of the range compensating reticles like the Nikon BDC, Burris Ballistic Plex, and Sightron HHR, are based on the laws of averages, of a group of chamberings and loads, who have similar trajectories. They are kind of gimmicky, but will ge you in the ball park.
I have a Burris FF II 4.5-14x, with the Ballistic Plex reticle on my AR-15, with a 16 inch RRA varmint upper. Shooting loads that use the Barnes 62 grain TSX bullet, it holds about 1/2 MOA accuracy out to 600 yards. I can pop a 50 lb salt block every time at 500 yards.
