I've recently had the opportunity to spend some time, unexpectedly, with the SS 1-4 HD.  I must say, it "kicks it".  I've looked at the others mentioned and they all are decent, but the SS 1-4 is truly awesome.  It has a "true" 1x low end and the 4x is clean, crisp, no edge effects, easy to  "acquire" the target, great eye box.  I am very impressed with it.  If you must "settle", the Burris XTR is very nice, but I am unsure of the QA and toughness.  The SS is one of the toughest scopes on the market.  

Go for the gusto...

I have the 1-4 trijicon with red post and like it very much its on a 20 in bolt action .223.
If you are willing to dial in correction for trajectory and shoot out to greater distances the SS scopes are awesome and in addition to the 1-4 previously mentioned there is a 1-6 which I think is a really exciting power range for an AR.  Much depends on how the rifle will be used because if a guy wanted to hunt prairie dogs with it then he would need a lot more magnification but for coyotes I love the Trijicon with its illumination not requiring battery power. In any case SWFA will treat you right, I've had great luck with their scopes.
