I have a Rock River Arms entry 16" carbine. It has troy flip up rear sight, A2 front post, and Leupold Vari-X 2-7x compact on quick detach rings.

I just purchased a Smith and Wesson MP 15-22 carbine that needs a scope.

I'm trying to figure out which gun to the put the leupold compact on. And once that is decided- what scope to put on the other gun.

I could run the Leupold on the .22LR and get a AR specific scope (Leupold or Nikon I'm thinking), or keep the Leupold on the RRA and get the new Nikon P-22 (.22LR AR specific scope).

The RRA is shot at the range from 50-200yards, mostly benched but some standing. The S&W is a plinker for all kinds of shooting. I plan to shoot the .22 a lot more, but the RRA is the go-to defense rifle.

Thoughts?
