My newly acquired Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39 is almost formally dialed in with a new Nikon 3x9BDC. It shoots good, the scope is great but big and rather heavy on this lightweight rifle. I also expect to limit my range to about 200 yards with this carbine. I feel like I may have more scope than necessary on this one.
***part 2***
My Ruger SR 556 is my general purpose, back door gun. It is fully capable with offset irons set for 20 yards, and a Nikon p223 3x fixed BDC.
I feel like this gun is capable of heavy varmint work out to 400 yds and beyond. I also feel that I run out of scope at that range.
So, my question to the rifle and scope savvy members of THR:
Should I swap scopes on these two rifles? Or leave them alone?
I am reluctant because they are both set and dialed in. I would have to start over on both rifles. (Which is fun anyway)
Let me hear your thoughts.
