My first big boy hunting rifle

I bought a budget minded Ruger American Predator in .308. Got
invited to go hog hunting after Xmas. Yeah cheap but accurate
enough for my skill level. Now I need optics...suggestions under
$200?

Never hunted hog? How much power is needed to take these beasts
down? Are they fast on their feet?

I have that rifle. Don't put it down for it's price. I shoot
echo silhouettes out to a 1000 yards with mine.
For $200 just put a Nikon Buckmaster II (if you can find one) or
a Vortex Crossfire on it. Probably the best scopes for that
price. I also picked up a Sightmark off of Sportsmansguide 5
years ago for $100 I thought for sure would crap out by now in
the extreme temperatures, but it is still working just fine on
my son's 6.5.
