After doing some reading I find that this scope is ment for only .17 rifles, will my AR15 be off with this scope? It came with my rifle

Hello the BSA Sweet 17 is not for 223 rem unless you AR is in 17 HMR if so then all is a go if not then I think that the UTG 3-9x32mm compact CQB bug buster AO RGB scope is on the money I shoot with this scope and have ran about 5000 yes that's right about 5000 rounds though my AR15 no problems hope this helps

This scope fits many different rifles,, 17hmr, 22, 223, 30-06, the only difference is the turret drum. The turret drum is calibrated for bullet drop for the different rifles. If your AR has the same ballistics as a 17hmr, you will be happy. I'm not sure BSA sells the turret drums separately, but if not, the Sweet series of scopes are not expensive. I ranged a jackrabbit at 241 yards, set my Sweet 17 at 240, it was a perfect shot, one round, dead center. The Sweet series from BSA are all excellent choices, choose your caliber and have fun!!!!!

Both of those cartridges are known for having very flat trajectories, but there would be a small difference at shorter ranges that would begin to show up more at over 200 yards or so. It you AR15 is really accurate, I would go for something more appropriate, but if it is not, it would work as a "Do-For". I would check the ballistics on Hornady or any other good site to see what to expect in terms of trajectory difference at various ranges. Good luck, JBPSI was assuming that your AR15 was chambered for the 223, but it may not be, so as Mr. Moen pointed out, there could be quite a bit of difference in trajectory. In that case, buy an appropriate scope.

It will only be off if you try to change the yardage by turning the drum. They make a sweet 223 for your gun

Yes, this is a very nice scope for an AR. Depending on your rail set up you will need to consider cantilever scope rings as this is a long scope for just a reciever flat top.

I think this is a horrible scope for a Remington. I even had problems with it on my AR15.

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.

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!

I have used it on my .22 rifle, so I think it would work good for an Ar15. It has some great features for the smaller caliber guns.

In my estimation if it goes back the exactly same way you took it off and nothing has been altered or changed with the scope settings or scope rings and or mount rail settings then it should work fine. The better part of valor though in my thinking is never hurts to check out your guns accuracy before going hunting especially. Can't swap the scope and mounts to another weapons though and expect the same accuracy as the one it was on. Every gun has it's own idiosyncrasies and is unique unto it's self.

Ok.....If you want the deal of the century you need to purchase this scope.....it's one of the best AR-15 scopes out there in this price range & when you use the company's SpotOn Ballistics Program (free on a computer, $4.95 as an Ipad or Android App) you'll see for yourself how great it is.....Oh by the way, Nikon Scopes have a lifetime guarantee.....Nuff Said!! Be sure to purchase the 1" P-Series Scope Mounts for this Scope.....http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5F02ZW/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

This scope, is designed, for an AR-15 platform! I don't know, if you can get the right scope mount's, for your rifle? But, I do know, it is an awesome scope, for the right platform! Don't know your rifle, that well, but I do not think, it would be the perfect scope, for a Tavor!

if your using an AR-15 the sights on top are no good - I have scope sighted in at 100 yrds and zeroed in fine - then it has hash marks for further distance shooting . all in all a good scope . But I bought a vortex strikefire red dot sight for my AR-15 and it is amazing 175.00 dollars you get the best bang for the buck zeroed in at 100 yrds and excellent I now use sniper scope on my 715T .22 rifle .

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.

No, the front sights will not be a problem for this scope, provided you have the scope mounted properly. I have this scope with the Nikon mounting rings and I have no issues whatsoever with the front sights on an AR15 application.

if you don't have a scope it should fit. my AR 15 is 32 inches long with the stock fully collapsed, it has a tactical scope and it fits with the front vertical grip off. if I pull my stock out to make my rifle 34 inches long it will fit without the scope but not with the scope

mine is on a ruger 10-22 and it is fine for that purpose, it seems well made, but did not impress as particularly robust. If you have something to use it on if it does not suit the ar-15, it is worth the price, but I cannot speak to it's to stand up to heavier sustained shooting

I bought this scope for my AR-15 a month ago. Only fired with it once since buying it. I made sure the ring mounting screws were tight before taking it to the firing range. After an initial zero was made i fired about 100 rounds at 50 yards. The first 3 rounds were in the 1 1/2 inch zero circle but then they started to drift right and down. The first 30 round clip was in a pattern from zero to 4 inches right and down. When i got home i noticed that the 2 rail mounting bolts were coming loose with the front was very loose which explains the right to down loss of zero. Haven't had a chance yet to take it back to the range to see if I can keep it on zero. I bought this scope for my AR-15 a month ago. Only fired with it once since buying it.

I don't have enough knowledge of that rifle. I put mine on a Ruger M77. Have only used at range, still sighting it in. No field use yet.
