There are only 2 models of the Mark AR, differing only by the type of reticle.

Mine came with the 55gr .223. Look directly on leupolds website for a model number and see if it matches.

It's for a .223. You can look up the manufacturer and they may offer it in .308. If not you can send them your bolt and carrier and they will NiB coat it for you.

It worked on my RCBS .223 die. Not real sure what kind it is (small/big, I bought it a long time ago).

6727 is the one with the BDC reticle - read the product description: Nikon ProStaff 3-9 x 50 Black Matte Riflescope (BDC)

Yes this scope is designed specifically to be used with a .223 rifle. However you can use it with any rifle that you want to mount it to.using the Nikon Spot on program online, you can find any BDC info for almost any ammunition that you shoot. I love this scope. I've hit targets @ around 600 Yards with my .223 because of the ease of using this scope

The BDC is not etched in glass. These scopes are calibrated for 5.56/.223. You can see more pictures of this and other Scepter scopes at our website. We will work to add this to our Amazon listing. Thanks!

Well yes and no. It is a really good scope. (bright, clear, turrets click well and seem to be consistent). The scope will work on all of your rifles well. But... the calibrations on the elevation turrent care calibrated for the balistic data of a 55 gr 223 bullet (hornady a-max). So you will have to ignore the marked elevations and go to the scale on the elevation turret. I shoot 77 grain sierra and 75 grain hornady match bullets and they have different trajectories than a 55 gr bullet. It really isnt a problem you just have to come up with a dope sheet just like you would with any other scope. I have been happy with the scope and feel it is a good buy for the money. It is designed to work on top of an AR and I would recomend Rock River Arms excellent scope mount as well.

This is the only one I have found. It works great on my AR 15 and is heavy duty!

Don't know I don't have one, but saw one Nikon prostaff that is just for 223 cal.perhaps will be of some help in your rifle

A brilliant scope! But this ones reticle, especially the bullet drop compensation (BDC) is layed out for cal. .223 rem! According to the scope itself it is best used on a M4 or a m249

Hey, the Turrent markings are 1/4' @ 100yrd zero or MOA. On my DPMS with the M-223 XR mount, the Scope height is approx. 2.66 inches (center of bore or bolt to the center of the scope). So far I have been very please with this scope. The book says that this scope is optimal with a 55 grn bullet with a muzzle velocity of 3,240 FPS. I'm trying to load a round that meets those specifications, just waiting for it to cool down around here!Good Luck,Charles

You can download the nikon "spot on" app and check out how different loads match up using the BDC....its great and printable. I love that scope and utilizing the "spot on" app really helps better dial it in based on ammo using or if you ever decided to put it on a different rifle. But realistically depending on the ammo use its all about the fps as well as bullet weight and coeffocient, but download the app first and you will see what I mean. Enjoy

Well the BDC on this scope is set for the default m185 Full metal jacket 55gr Nato round. Yes barrel length will make a difference. You can either reload your own ammo and develop a load that works with your barrel to make the proper velocity or you can enter your ammo specs in on Nikons site and it will give you range adjustments for the dots on the BDC600. I recommend loading your own to stay true to the distant marks as much as possible. I load Hornady 55gr and ran a chronograph shooting different loads till I found the right mix. I have 20" 1/7 BCM match for an upper. Also get the mount for this scope makes mounting a breeze. Well the BDC on this scope is set for the default m185 Full metal jacket 55gr Nato round.

Greetings, the mark AR is designed with the NATO 5.56 rounds ballistics in mind, as such, it has adjustments for range based on that round so I don't think that will work at all for the 300 win mag (IMO). Leupold's website has a ton of information about their scopes and applications for them, I suggest you start there.-chris

Hi Stephen - The BDC is calibrated for the M855 (62gr.) through a 16" bbl. Which is weird because the TA-31 series are calibrated for the 14.5" bbl the mil. uses. If you're concerned about using M193 (55gr) w/this optic, your worries are unfounded; this optic will deliver tight groupings using either the M855 or M193. If you're ''on the fence'' about this particular model, jump off that sumbitch and get it; I prefer the TA01NSN over my other TA-31s (A4 & M4 RCO models). Any other questions, don't hesitate to drop me another note... Best Regards, Tim p.s. I also have an Elcan DR Specter and I'd still grab the AR w/the TA01NSN sitting atop it; it's built like an Int'l. Harvester...

I have the 1x to 4x. It is not the best scope for any long range accuracy on a small target. But, I do, for what I am using it for in 3 Gun competition, it is working really good for me. Without getting the instructions out again, I can't remember if the BDC radical was caliber specific. I have never found a caliber specific radical to be accurate for me, anyway. So if you keep that in mind I think you would be fine on the .308.

No it's a precision AR scope for shooting.223 hope this helps my son has a Nikon BDC long range on his 30.06 and it works very well
