Nikon Scopes

[Saw557]

Looking to put a Nikon Monarch 4x16x50 or maybe the 4x16x42 on my AR-15. hope to use it for varmint/predator hunting. Is the BDC recticle worth the $$$ or should I stick with the standard Nickoplex recticle

Thanks

They make an excellent scope, but I'm not much help with your decision but I have the standard reticle and that's all I'd ever want.

It might be worth it, but probly not, I believe they are made more for biggame cartriges and wouldn't be as accurate for the drop on a varmit gun.

If its for mostly a calling gun i would stick with a lower power. Say a 2-7 or 3-9. I shoot leopold 4-12's for mine, but i shoot bolts, and hunt mostly open areas.

What AR are you getting??? Not all AR's are good varmit rigs for any distance at all. My dads is awful. 100yd max on coyotes, fun to lay down the ground fire, but not accurate at all.

I have .223 cal Rock River Predator Pursuit. full floating 20" stainless heavy barrel,match trigger. It's supposed to be good for 3/4" moa. we'll see I haven't Shot it yet...waiting on a scope mount and haven't made up my mind which scope I want. I was thinking of the 4x16 so I could maybe use it for pdogs as well

I think that would be about right. I haven't ever shot them,, I stick to varmits around home. On 12 power i have enough scope for as far as i can hit them.
