      Riton Optics, rings, and mounts.

      I have used several Riton Optics Red Dots and have not had any issues at all. 2 that are on PCCs have over 1000 rounds under them, and adjusting zero has not been needed. Riton's Contessa mounts are top-notch. They provide a solid lockup and do not need lapping. I am also using several of their...

      Big Fun

      So nice once you get that SBR designation so you can swap uppers. This is one of my favorite combinations. It's a Spikes Tactical Wart Hog lower and a KnightArmco/AAC upper in .300 BO. I always shoot this with an AAC SDN 7.62 suppressor. The red dot is a Riton Optics 1 Tactix RRD. Sadly I got...

      Diana 460 Magnum Scope Eater

      I will be putting a Riton 3 Conquer on my .17 Beeman and expect excellent performance. The only way manufacturers will say their optics are air rifle rated is if they have tested them. I have run across companies that have said their scopes are ok for springers, but Riton actually did the...

      LPVO Suggestions

      +1 on the Meopta Optika6 1-6x24 SFP scope. I had one on my carbine comp/pig gun until my sone borrowed it, now I own 2. It may be a tad heavier than other scopes but by less than 1/4 pound so not noticeable at all. This scope is built like a tank and the Euro glass gives you excellent clarity. I...

      Experiences with Nikon Force XR EER Pistol Scope 2x20mm?

      I have been using Nikon's 2X magnification pistol scopes for years, when Nikon came out with the FORCE XR 2.5-8x28 it was a welcome change. Having the extra magnification has made a difference for my older eyes and using Spot On to dial in Nikon's BDC circles has made longer shots easier. Four...

      AR 15 Scope -- My Head is Spinning

      Since I do some freelance work for Nikon I have 2 suggestions for you. First is the M-223 2-8x32 BDC 600. This is a low profile scope built with MONARCH glass that will make shots at 200 yards easy and dial it back to 2 or 3 and you're shooting targets at 100 yards and in. My second suggestion...

      Magtech 300 blackout, Junk?

      Definiitely a lot of things worth checking out. I have a BO barrel that won't shoot Remington 220 gr Subs better then 2.5 inches on a good day. I drop down to Gemtec 187 gr subs and I'm sub MOA. I have been using a number of Nikon's P-300 scope's for over 4 years now with zero issues. If you...

      Lightweight SPR build....

      Impressive on the weight! I look forward to your next report. That LR308 is capable of great accuracy and reliability, I think you are going to be very happy about your choice for a long time. When you use Nikon's Spot On Program to dial in your ammo make sure you measure you scope height, mid...

      Cz 452 - need a scope (any opinions are welcome)

      Nikon's PROSTAFF 3-9 Target EFR is one of my favorite's. Being able to dial in the parallax is a big plus especially when critter hunting. The glass is very clear and will give you excellent light transmission. I have 2 on 22LR's with zero complaints. If possible I would suggest looking down the...

      Nikon M308?

      First off let me tell you that I have been doing freelance PR/Shooting Event's for Nikon for almost 5 years now. This does not make me biased,believe me, I don't do sales and I'm not going to recommend something to you that won't work for your application. Will Nikon's M-308 BDC 600 scope work...

      Another scope question

      Nice pic! See if mine looks similar? I have used Nikon's M-308 scope on Rem. 700 SPS for a year now and love it. I like the BDC model because it allows me to dial in the ammo that shoots the best from my rifle. If you are concerned about the accuracy of the BDC when you use Spot On, I have shot...

      Nikon P-223 3-9X40 BDC 600 opinions

      DocT, You are so Spot On with your comment, sorry, couldn't resist. Dialing in your rifle,scope and ammo is so easy with Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program. Make sure you enter the right scope height as well, mid bore to mid scope for most accurate result and if you can chrono your round even...

      Nikon P-223 3-9X40 BDC 600 opinions

      I really like the P-223 3X Carbine scope just for the reason's you describe. My son confiscated my scope and put it on his Comp. AR once we started having 200 yard targets to engage. Very quick to get on target, excellent field of view and very clear. It is also included in the Promo with the...

      Nikon P-223 3-9X40 BDC 600 opinions

      Excellent Choice Diesel, You are making a very sound choice. I have been using this scope on my LMT for at least 18 months with no regrets. Very clear, 9X helps me make quick accurate shots and Nikon's BDC reticle will let you enter the info on your 64 gr. PSP ammo to get the greatest...

      Which 5.56/.223 ammo should I buy

      5.56 choices I have shot 1000's of rounds of Fiocchi fmj ammo and have no complaints. Does all I ask of it. When it comes time for extra accuracy or hunting I choose Winchester 55 gr. SilverTips. Great accuracy and expansion. Not cheap by any means but I only use them when I absolutely...

      Nikon M-308

      Using Nikon's Spot On Ballistic Program is very easy. Like anything math driven, your results will be more accurate if the info you enter is accurate. That being said, try to chrono the ammo you are shooting, measure mid barrel to middle of your scope so you have theright scope height. All these...

      Nikon M-308

      Spot On Spot On will now work on your iphone or Android phone if you have 3/4G connection or wi-fi. This is all new, no more Jave so the site runs a lot smoother and you don't have ot spend the $5. I still did for my ipad just because at the range there isn't always a network I can get on...

      Nikon M-308

      I've been running a M-308 BDC 800 scope on two of my .308's. One AR and one bolt rifle. I couldn't find a way to make the M-308 Mount work for my Remington 700 AAC. It just sat to high so I opted for Med. rings and couldn't be happier. I prefer the BDC reticle since I use my rifles for hunting...

      Suppressed .22 Build

      Check out Nikon's PROSTAFF 3-9 Rimfire BDC 150. I have been using one on my custom 10/22 for a year now and using the BDC reticle i have plinked steel crows at 200 yards. I have been waiting almost 9 months on my 3 AAC can's and once the .22 arrives I'll swap out barrel's for the Tactical...

      Mounting Nikon P-223 on AR

      I agree, Move scope back towards your charging handle. That should get the scope in a much better position for you. I have same scope and mounts so I understand what you are talking about. The great thing with the P-Series AR Mount is their flexibility. They can be turned around, one can be...
