for a Mossberg MVP 223 with 24" barrel, is this a good scope? or the ProStaff 4-12x40 would be a better option?

The P-223 is perfect for me as I rarely shoot over 100yds in hunting applications. Occasionally I do shoot out to 300yds on targets. The P-223 has great turrets with real crisp adjustments. The ProStaff that you mentioned is a good scope too so it really depends on what you are trying to do with it.

Well it depends how far are you shooting in my neck of the woods. 3x9 is fine. I like 3x9 I leave Lt on 3 while walking in just in case I jump something. On 3 I can focus quickly on a target . The only time I adjust higher is when sitting once I spot something or when target shooting. I normally target shoot 50- 200 yards with no problem with 3x9 either way its a wonderful scope you be happy.

I mounted the P-223 3-9x40 using the matching Nikon P-series mounts on my AR and am very satisfied with the end result. Installation was easy and the scope is a great deal for the price.

I use the Vortex on a custon F Class rifle 600-1000 yards, it's super and is way too much scope for the 223. On my AR15 I have a Nikon M223 that is pre calabrated to the 223 ammo.

Unless you're a varmint hunter, recommend a smaller profile scope for the AR-15 platform as it is waaay big for the rifle, although you can certainly mount it.

I have this installed on my 9mm carbine. With that caliber I haven't shot much over 75 yards. I'm quite positive this scope should be good for 150 yards if not farther. Nothing but good things to say about this scope.

You could probably get away with a low-profile flashlight but otherwise the scabbard is a little narrow for a bunch of tactical attachments. I can fit my Mossberg 500 with a 28" barrel in it, it sticks out a little bit but it stays in alright. A 24" to 18" barrel would be the bet fit though. It's a pretty high quality scabbard for the price, I'd definitely recommend it!

This is a fairly strong mount. But a .308 kicks a good deal more than a 223. You are probably good to use it, but I better it is worth spending a little more to be sure.

I own both power range of scopes. I use the 4.5x18 on my 22" varmint white oak upper and it is great for really being able to zoom in on distant targets and with 4.5 on the bottom end you still have plenty of fov when your shooting in close. For what its worth I'd buy the scope again.

I put a UTG 3-9x32 Compact CQB Bug Buster AO RGB scope on my Marauder pistol. It is small and light with decent quality glass. I am happy with my decision.

This is awesome on a .22lr but for an AR the best cheap scope setup you will get is the Ncstar scope with the holosight add on. It comes preconfigured to the 55gr .223 balistic curve so it provides fast and accurate transition up to 600 yards.

I run it on a 24 in bull barrel and the Nikon website (http://spoton.nikonsportoptics.com/spoton/spoton.html#:4) I believe bases the ballistic coefficient on a 24 inch barrel and when I print up some of the bdc chart for my given ammo I'm shooting, it's pretty accurate. I was going to put it originally on my 18" barrel model and was reading that the bdc's would be pretty close. What was recommended was get the bdc print out, and then head to the range and you can see the slight differences on each circle and them you can adjust accordingly. I know that sounds like a pain, but the guy that was going over it, said that each bdc circle would be off say 5 or so yards so say if one would be 200, it would actually be 193 and so on. The bottom line is even with a 24 in barrel, I still confirm the bdc circles on each different round I fire down range. The scope is great and I just bought one for my father in law and he is hooked and a big fan. Hope that helps

I have one on my mini-14, which also has a bit of recoil. I like the scope, but I have to re-zero every time I go out. My advice would be to save a little extra money and go for a Nikon Prostaff. Excellent glass, inexpensive, and isn't bothered by recoil. I have one on my .308 that I just love.

Depends what you are using it for. If you are hunting or shooting at a range of 100-200 yards it would be good For closer range stuff I like eotechs I'd also recommend nikon prostaff N series scopes 3x9 40 if the cost isn't an issue. The P series pro staff are nice too, N is nicer glass though

I have also used this scope on my rem700 in 308. Holds a great zero and has taken a decent amount of abuse. The glass and turrets help up great.

I say do it... I put mine on a Mosin Nagant and even tho I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet I'm happy. Glass is clear and sight picture is easy to find. I'm a little bias because all I own are BSA optics and this is the first pistol scope I've ever had. Hope this helped.

It is a nice scope. I put mine on a 357 mag Rossi lever action rifle. I haven't been to the range to shoot it to site it in yet but I feel like it will do a good job. It has a good wide field of view and clear. My son told me it was to big for my 357 rifle but I told him at least I could see with it.

I put this scope on a 9.3x62You might be better off putting a lower fixed power scope on you muzzle loader since your range will be a lot shorter. Maybe a 4x40 or something similar.
