The 1-4x24 Crossfire II riflescope is one of many configurations in the Crossfire II line. The V-Brite reticle uses the V-Plex format with battery-powered electronics to illuminate the center dot for hunters/shooters during extra-low light conditions.With long eye relief and an ultra-forgiving eye box, you'll be able to quickly get a sight picture and acquire your target. The fast focus eyepiece allows quick and easy reticle focusing.Anti-reflective, fully multi-coated lenses provide bright and clear views for the user.Capped reset turrets are finger adjustable with MOA clicks that can be reset to zero after sighting in.A single piece tube constructed from aircraft grade aluminum ensures strength and shockproof performance. O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged, the Crossfire II delivers waterproof and fog proof performance.
Waht type of budget are you looking at?
There isn't much that goes into cleaning airsoft guns. A cleaning rod, some microfiber cloths, and a bit of rubbing alcohol is all it really takes for an AEG. For GBBs (I assume his G19 will be GBB) he might need a valve key to disassmeble the mags.
Maybe a gun rack or gun case
Patches are always a good gift
Comfy socks, like Darn Tough, are awesome.
If he uses midcap mags (No winding wheel on the bottom) he might like an Odin Sidewinder. It's an amazing speedloader. They've announced an updated version but I don't know when it's coming out. If he already has a Sidewinder there's a sound dampening thingy for it.
Edit: On a $250 budget you can get him some nice stuff:
Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x24 scope is an incredible scope. I know I'd be ecstatic to get one if I didn't already have one.
Salomon boots are awesome boots. Peoples feet can vary a lot so boots might not be a great gift but Amazon does have a good return policy
A Dye i5
or i4 are great masks. Again, preferences may vary. He might prefer goggles and separate lower face protection.
This might sound stupid and isn't really airsoft related, but I got a label maker and it's been awesome.
In your price range (assuming your $500 also has you buying a mount, if not, you can go pricier) I'd suggest either primary arms or Vortex.

Vortex makes great optics for the price. Look for them on Amazon and you can probably find something appropriate for your lever gun. I have a Crossfire II 1-4x24 on my Henry Big Boy and it looks and works great. You might want more than 4x for your .308 at 300yd though.
You will probably also want to get a hammer extension. Getting your thumb on the hammer can be hard with an optic on there.

If you're deadset on low magnification, http://www.amazon.com/Vortex-Crossfire-1-4x24mm-Riflescope-CF2-31037/dp/B00HYRGODO/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1451575315&sr=1-4&keywords=vortex+strike+eagle
If this is it, it'll need 30mm. It probably says so on the box. For an AR for a conventional scope, I really like the Larue LT-104 QD mount.

I have a few options for you. I have never heard of a magnifer that has adjustable magnification.
Option 1
-Get The Vortex Crossfire II with the Mount.
-Get something like this and mount the Holosun on top of the scope or simply just set it aside.
-This will take you slightly above $300
Option 2
-Return the Holosun
-Get the Vortex Strike Eagle Package
-Because you paid $300 for the Holosun and will pay another $300 for the magnifier, buying the Strike Eagle package leaves you with $200 to do whatever you want with.
Check out the vortex crossfire II, it's cheap and reliable. I've been using mine for a year now, never lost zero and can drive tacks at 300 yards.

That's high. The non-illuminated ones are usually around $140 going from memory.
**Just noticed that's the illuminated model. That's not a bad price for the V-Brite. Midway has the non-illuminated for $140 right now.
There are a number of good 1-4x and 1-6x optics out there. For $200 you can get a Vortex Crossfire II and for $300 you could get a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x.
My opinion is that variable optics gives you flexibility to use the right magnification for the distance that you are shooting at. At 1-4X, there is a lot of good glass for the money.
