From the sounds of it, you are wanting a scope for the AR that has higher magnification?   

The Nikon you have now may work well on the Savage .300 WM for your purposes.

Another Buckmaster would be my recommendation, but use a one piece mount for the AR15

I have used an Armalite mount and now use a LaRue Tactical mount.
