Does anyone have experience with this scope mounted on a 16" barrel? I'm concerned about zero on less than a 20" 308. I'm considering a Ruger SSR 762.

I have two of these. One mounted on a S&W; M&P; 10 (.308) that I've swapped the flash suppressor out for a muzzle brake. Has 18" barrel. Normally shoot Sierra 168 grain HPBTs in hand loads. Last outing I was getting sub-moa results. Have the other mounted on Armalite AR-31 (.308) with 24" barrel. Have shot better than 1/2 moa with the same hand loads. I never worry about the BDC feature since that is pretty dependent on using specific factory ammo. I can wing it on longer shots pretty easily. Great scopes.

I have this scope mounted on a Springfield SOCOM M1A (16" barrel). Holds 0 perfectly fine. ZERO should not be a problem as long as you sight it correctly. If using NIKON BDC, set your target to 100 yards and adjust scope. You should be good to go.

Sorry, only have on my .308 x 20" barrel. I do have 2 AR-15s with 16" and 20" barrels. I mounted Nikon M-223 on both and zeroed each @ 100 yds. without any problem.

I would agree with Mr.Mcguire,this is a great scope and I would suggest the mount as well.the xr mount that i have has a built in incline so your scope does not run out of elevation for long distance shooting.the downside to this scope and mount is they are a little heavy but i would highly recommend anyway.depending what you are shooting at 600 yds,you may want more than 16X? good luck and you cant go wrong with the above set up.

I found the gun to be very accurate at about 23'. However the fixed sights were terrible. In my case, it caused the gun to shoot &gt;6" low at the 23'.I added a red dot sight, and quarter size groups are now typical through 2 1/2 clips (~40 shots). I am shooting RWS Superdomes (preferred) and RWS Diablo Basic.

Sure but, I personally wouldn't put it on anything much larger than a .223 because it is an expensive scope. I have mine mounted on an AR15 and it works well but I wouldn't trust it on anything over .308 because of the recoil. I mainly shoot open sights but I wanted to check out the benefits of magnification without lightening my wallet too much. Eventually, I plan to buy a high quality scope and move this one to my Ruger 1022 for plinking.

More info is needed: What rifle are you mounting this on? Does it have a bull barrel, standard etc. I need moreinfo on the scope, you state 50mm but is it actually a 3X12X50mm or something similar? What is the overall length of the scope?

Wish I could give you a good answer I but have no experience with your rifle though it is reputed to be a great one. Did find zeroing mine mounted on an M&P; AR 10 was a piece of cake! I bore sighted @ 25 yds then within 5 rounds had a perfect zero @ 100 yds. Have not done any longer yardages but am eager to see how well BDC measures up. M-308 is my 3rd Nikon tactical scope...I think a great bang for the buck! Good luck on your decision.

Yes, no problem. You just need to spend the time at the range to zero it in properly with Ruger scope mounting. It worked well! I have used it successfully also on a Ruger Mini 14. For an inexpensive scope it works good!

I had it on ar-15 and it worked fine, no issues, hard to say on a 12 gauge, but I bet itll hold up, for 304 its worth it, reticle as good as any

I have mine on a Remington 700 in 308. At the range I shoot out to 700 yards. I do have a problem with mirages at that range. On an AR15 this scope is over kill.

Technically any distance I've not zeroed this sight. See, on my PLR-16 I have roughly 2 1/2 to 3 inches between my barrel and the sight. So at a greater distance than where I zeroed out it shoots high and closer to the target it shoots lower. Same problem a P90 rifle has.

Hello Carol, My limited experience with the scope so far has been great, but I'm using it on an AR hunting rifle. It works really well as advertised. I would consider it fine for use on either the M1A or 700 tactical applications with no expected issues. My only recommendation would be to to order replacement BDC elevation dials for your specific or favorite 308 Win/7.62 NATO loads. The AR scope typically comes with the .223/5.56 dial calibration. You can order replacement dials from Leupold's Custom Shop, I got one for my 6.8 SPC hunting load. Hope this helps!

Mounted mine on MP 15/ 22 does a good . Don't think I would put on AR if shooting at critters out past 150 yards. Hope this helps other then that I really like the scope.

I have used mine on a Remington 700-308, it worked perfect, also on a AK and at 120' which was the longest warehouse I have access toafter sighting in the scope and then taking it to the Range it was grouping a 2-1/2 circle at 100 yards, i could not have been more pleased with the purchase. I have since bought Bore sights in (6) different Calibers and have been happy with all of them.

Honestly the mounts are really not that great. I mounted mine on my 700 .308 and they came right back off. The held up for about 15 rounds then my scope started to slide forward. The mounts stripped out. Also they made my scope set really high. I would look at different mounts.

Have it mounted on .300 Black Out and seems to be working fine.....but .308's recoil is much stronger as u well know. It is a very well made scope and I would mount it on my .308 if I needed to. Hope this helps!

I purchased this scope to go on my M4. I have been shooting .223 with a 16" barrel. The scope works great the only issue I have with the mount is the screws come loose. However a little lock tight and I was back in business. I think it would work fine but I have not used this scope shooting a .308 or 30.06. Good Luck...

Hmm Have had it on a FNAR 308 ,AR and AK. It holds up fine. Nice scope - good glass - and just a really good fit and feel on guns like that .Its a good by no regrets - Good luck
