hey guys/gals my dad and i have narrowed it down to two scopes.
nikon m223
nikon buckmaster
the gun that it is going on is a 20 inch 223 standard rifle. the gun will mostly be used for target shooting and rarely used for coyotes and small animals ( we live on a ranch)
my dad used the buckmaster on my uncles gun another 223 and he seemed to like it. he also talked to a friend of his who is an "expert" on AR's and he suggested the buckmaster to my dad. i have tried to get out of my dad that he wont be doing any long range record breaking shots so he might not need the scope with the power (he wants the 4.5 x 12 i believe)
on the other hand i have tried to show him the nikon m223 scope since its geared more for the AR platform and he seems to want to stick with the stronger powers, the m223 is going to be a 3x12
my question is what scope would YOU guys suggest as far as quality and just a btter scope. i know they are both made by nikon so should be close in quality. is the m223 more just because they jumped on the AR 223 craze right now? the m223 from cabelas is 399 and the buckmaster is 319, both will have a BDC.
ALSO...as far as mount goes his friend told him to get the nikon m223 mount and i am trying to talk him into the larue mount. if he decides to to with the nikon mount what is the quality of these guys? they also sell a m223 X mount that hives you 20 MOA, from what i have read is only good for if you are shooting more then 500yrds. is it worth to get the 20 MOA just in case or will the normal mount work?
