M&P Sport With New Nikon P-223 - Range Report & Question

[mbjku]

This is great scope for m&p15, clear optics and great price.

I had a tough time with my AR as well, turned out my ASC five round mag was dinging my bullets as it chambered each round, 20 round Colt mag, and I was in business, after trying several optics, I settled on the Redfield Battlezone. Nice and bright, also a 3x9x42mm. The small bore of the .223/5.56 makes it very difficult to bore sight by mark I eyeball, well I should say by 58 year old Mark I's, although I do NOT wear glasses for distance, just readers, but that may be changing, LOL.

Just looked at the Redfield while I was at Academy Sports, I do like those turrets.

I set up my Nikon M-223 4X16x42mm took it to the range and was thrilled with the performance. Then the dreaded "OH $&!t" moment hit when I realized the great YHM BUIS no longer could be used in their on top positions, so am I stuck with having to take the scope off and on to switch back and forth (which seems ridiculous) or 45 degree off set the BUIS? Hindsight being 20/20 I would have waited and put the scope on a bolt action. Any suggestions?

Follow scooter123's advice for scope mounting. The hex wrench will start to twist at about 15-20 inch-pounds.

I purchased a Wheeler Engineering FAT wrench from Midway when they first came out and threw away my thread lockers. I haven't had a screw loosen up since I started following their advice. You can pull the barreled action from a wood stock and replace it and your zero will be close if you torque the screws to the same specifications.
