What Optics for my new AR?

[Pete D.]

Seems like you are happy with your choice.
I have had on my AR, at various times, the 4X32 ACOG (marvelously clear and bright scope), an Eotech 512, and an assortment of more standard scopes. There's none on there now.....at 65 years old, I went back to the irons, put a NM hooded rear on the gun and put the scopes on the shelf.

I took your advice, Rick, and got the Nikon M-223 3-12x42 with the Nikloplex Reticle. I just got it mounted and sighted in this past Monday. I'm hitting with i inch at 100 yards with no problem. Thanks for all your help.

I was considering the same scope. Have you used 556 ammo yet? Have you used any 64 grain cartridges? Did you notice any difference in you zero with the other ammo? I have mostly 556 ammo, so I am cautious on how it will work with the 223 scope.
