I've narrowed my choices down to two. Input?

[PGT]

Looking to dip my toes into long range shooting with my AR15. I've narrowed my choices down to 2 after doing some homework and input from calgunners would be appreciated.

I'm a weekend shooter. Primarily this setup would be used from 100-500 yards with an occasional use at 600 yards. No hunting, competitions, etc. just a weekend shooter.

It will be on a 16" barreled AR. Free floated and 1:9 twist shooting 55gr ammo.

I've narrowed it down to:

-Nikon M223 3-12x42 with Nikoplex Reticle
-Leupold Mark AR MOD1 4-12x40 w/ P5 dial

Leupold for sure.

Thanks. Leupold it is.

The Nikon glass is superior... I have compared them.

But there are more factors than that when choosing a riflescope.

I know Leupold has excellent customer service and warranty... no clue with regards to the Nikon.

Nikon is what I buy if I can't afford Leupold at the time.
