Nikon M-223 One Piece Mount Review!

[tenpercentfirearms]

Ok, so I usually like to mount a RRA Scout Rail and Millet Angle Loc Low Rings on my scoped ARs. However, my new Burris Tactical 2-7x35mm scope won't fit because the zoom ring hits the back of the scout rail mount.



Well I had a Burris XTR14 30mm tubed scope on my 3 Gun rifle, but I found the reticle a little too busy and I wanted a little more magnification. I found the Burris PEPR 30mm mount was a pretty decent mount, but it is made in China and the two mounting bolts seemed ok. The extra rails on top of the rings made it a bit heavy.



I really wanted to get some more PEPR mounts, but they sell out too fast and I hesitated the other day and missed some. I saw four Nikon M-223 mounts pop up on my wishlist and grabbed them.



This mount is awesome. #1: Made in America!. #2: three solid bolts for mounting it to the rail. #3: excellent design for proper eye relief. #4: it is light and feels solid.

For anyone wanting to get a good one piece mount for only about $95 or less retail this is the way to go!

The height of that is very good. Me likey.

Can you measure and post the distance between the rings?

I'd add that they're SLIGHTLY lower than most unimounts. Maybe 1/4" lower than normal. Better for varmint rifles. Not so much for Multigun game rifle ( I like to be a little more heads up).

Very solid, yes. We just got a box of them on monday from a trade show in June... sold 8 in 3 days.

4"s from ring to ring.

Great review! The Nikon M-223 mount will give the Burris AR-PEPR some competition. I can already smell Leupold coming up with their own version for their Mark AR scopes

What are they made of, steel or aluminum?

I think aluminum because it was awfully light.

I like that they have a 20 MOA incline. Just wonder can they hold up to a .308 recoil?

I don't see why not. For a .223 AR, it makes no sense to have a 20 MOA incline. However, I wasn't thinking out of the box like you and forgot you could put this sucker on just about any railed gun, like a .308.

How do you like your Coyote upper? I have one, but havent got a change to shoot it yet.

I was looking at the m-223 mount, but couldnt find it in 30mm. I ordered the Burris last week along with a Leatherwood CMR 1x4 scope. I liked the rails on the top of the rings. I may never use them, but I could always mount a flash light or something if I ever wanted to.

Everything should be here next week and my rifle will finally be complete!

That rifle is actually a customer's. I haven't had him call back and complain.

I like the Burris too. I just think the Nikon is a little nicer in the lighter and simplistic category.
