After finally coming to admit that these old eyes just dont seem to be what they used to be, I have finally decided I need to put a scope on my AR 16" carbine.
Cost is a factor.
I have made the "Black Monday" on-line purchase of a Nikon P-223 3X32 with the 2 piece mount from Optics Planet for what I thought was a very reasonable price of $174 shipped.
Has anyone had experience with these? Pro's -Cons?
I know that Nikon also makes the M-223 that cost a bit more. My understanding is that the M series is built on the Monarch platform, and the P series is built on the Prostaff platform.
My shooting with this will be mainly as a range toy for bench shooting that likely will not exceed 200 yds.
What do you guys think of this as a budget-driven scope for bench shooting at this distance?
Thanks in advance.
