The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Nikon M223 Mount A Good Option For New AR15?

Highlander1 · October 9, 2012, 12:02 AM

My friend and I have just purchased our first AR15's (Coyote rifles from RRA) and will be going with the highly recommended Nikon M223 scope in 2x8. We will be using this setup for a lot of target shooting, and also a fair bit of coyote hunting.

My only question is the mount, and would really appreciate some of your expertise there. I've seen a number of comments (including a full review of the scope and mount) that said the Nikon M223 mount is a solid choice, I've also seen other people that state that mounts are critical and you should spend the money to buy a LaRue. I'm sure those are great mounts, but they cost nearly as much as the scope, and clearly don't fit our budget.

Also, there are two versions of the Nikon 223 mount, the standard one, and another with 20MOA. Which is the better choice?

Thanks for any assistance with this.
