I have a friend here who has one and he likes it but he would never spend a lot of money on an optic, so I would say it is worth a try if you need that power range. For me I like a really small optic on an AR like the Aimpoints and the ACOG scopes. I do have an SS fixed power in an AR mount though. I tend to think the 6x is ideal for an AR but I will also say that I am really impressed with a simple 3-9 Conquest that I got in not long ago. I think I would go this route if possibe.

I have one and in general I like it. The one thing that I don't care for is the rapid action turrets - they move too easily. When I sling my rifle the knobs will turn as they rub against you're clothing. I missed a coyote this morning that was a really easy shot. As I was watching him run over the hill trying to figure out how I could have missed I looked down to find my vertical out 10 MOA.
I actually logged on to the site to see if anyone could help me convert this scope to low profile adjustments and dust caps. At 100 to 300 yds I never use the turrets anyway. Any help out there? |

Same here. Without the capability of locking them down, its a problem. Ive been wrapping black electrical tape around the the turrets... Other than that, its a decent scope; but doubt Id buy again. |

That's what I wound up doing as welll.
Nikon Service returned my call and they don't have a solution at this time but did commit to passing the problem on to their product development people. I was out this morning, complete with electrical tape, and tagged two coyotes at 225 yards. It's a good enough scope. Really too bad about the turrets - definite design bust. |
