For my AR, recreational shooting at 100-200 yards. Should I get the compact 3X, or pay a little more for the discontinued m3 bundle?

If you are never going to be less than 100 yards then the Compact 3X would be a beater choice than a red dot magnifier combo. It will be more precise at longer range. The red dot without magnifier will be quicker on the target especially at close quarters.

Does the M3 have any magnification, or is it just a standard red dot?

Just to make sure we are talking about the same one.

No magnification.

Ya, that's the one but I need some magnification. I guess I might end up going with the compact 3X. And those blem gen2s are looking good too. Thanks so much for the help.

Edit: Instead of the 3X Compact, can I get the 3X Magnifier, and the blem Gen2 and be in the same position, and then just take off the magnifier for closer shots?
