From what i have seen so far, the scope has pretty good reviews. I ordered the p-series rings for it, but may go a different route. I will be shaving down the front sight and free-floating the barrel eventually.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I have one and on the rifle it works ok, I also have the p-series rings.
My complaint is more with the rings, they have to slide on and off the rails. So if you want back up sights you have to remove the rear one to get the scope off.
I don't use mine much anymore, I keep my Aimpoint PRO on my sport II upper with the rear flip up sight.
I have an extra complete upper receiver (DD M4W11 PRO) that I switch out at the range. I tried the nikon with it but it just didn't have the magnification I was looking for.
Added a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x 44mm scope on a burris quick detach mount and now I can still use my back up flip up sights if I need to.
Here's an older pic with the nikon mounted, if you never want to switch it out with a red dot and back up sights I'm sure you will be happy with it.
