Would this be to much scope for a 5.56 AR.I really would like the 3x12 but this 4.5x18 is quiet a bit cheaper.Or would I just be better with 3x9

I don't often shoot more than 100-150yds but this past Sunday I was shooting @ a little over 200yds, my brother and a friend have 3-9x, it sure was nice to push the scope to 18x and clearly see the shots on target, where as the others were haveing trouble

It really depends on what your using the gun for. I use mine for hunting and target shooting.It is.mounted on an AR .I'm very happy with the clarity and the adjustments.The price is very nice also I'm considering getting another one for a non AR platform.I would definitely recommend this product.Justin Shanks

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.

Buddy put this on his AR and loves it... Its not his first.... I bought it for him cause he does not have amazon account, so I cannot speak for myself, but this is the second one he has bought, hope this helps...

I have this scope on my 223wylde 18"spr. I like to shoot 100-200+ yards and the drop downs really help so you don't have to readjust your 100yrd sight in. I would always go with a higher power for when you want to shoot distance. Worth the $. Get it! holds zero well. only dislike is the eye relief is like 4" and is tough to see through with earphones on. save the 3x9 for the 22!

I just recently purchased this scope and very satisfied with it. It looks great and figured why not go for the better scope. I have installed it on an ar15 5.56 just have to sight it in but I live in ny and it's cold here. Good luck.

I don't have experience with the others, but I can see the holes in my target at 100 yds easily. It also holds a good zero, and I am getting 1/2 to 1" groups with my 24" heavy barreled AR at 100 yds.

I just got the 4.5x18 for my AR and it seems fine but I am wanting to shoot at 200-400 yds

This scope is ballisticaly setup for a 5.56. I have this scope along with two othe bushnell ar optics scopes, and I highly recommend them

I would recommend at least the MEDIUM ring height. I mounted mine on a Henry lever action and the medium just barely lefts the front above the receiver. It really depends on how far forward you will mount it, and whether the front end sits over the receiver, or the barrel. BTW- I really like the scope.

I would say this scope is a bit of overkill for the 10/22, but you could mount it with the correct rings. The magnification on this scope would be good out to at least 400yds and I rarely shoot a 22 past 100yrds. I would suggest this same scope in a 3x9x40 and stick with the Nikon because they are the best for the money.

thats about all this whould be good for. i advise a 3x9 scope with a rifle of your chose for HORSE THIVES

I am going to say yes, unless you want something for CQB, then I would suggest a 1-4x scope. I put mine on my Mini 14, and if it can stand up to the pounding the Mini's op rod and bolt give it, it should be no problem with the softer recoil impulse of the ARs buffer system. As a matter of fact, I have been thinking of putting one on my AR, but mine is more for SHTF than for long range target shooting.

I had this scope on my AR but did not like the look. It functioned fine but for close range more than was needed and not practical. If you only use your AR for longer ranges then I would be fine. Recoil not an issue.

I sent mine back. I didn't like the scope at all. I would look into Mueller scopes. You can get a 24x or 32 x for a few bucks more. I have these relatively inexpensive scopes on all my asault rifles Remington 700 and .22 rifles. They are great. Look into them, do a little research. Hope I helped you out. If can't get them here try optics planet.

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 would have to say that it is a little on the large size for the ar format they do make a smaller version that is just as good and would be more the size that you would need. i use mine on a PSL and a rpk but they are large rifles with plenty of room .

This scope is best mounted on a 0 MOA rail. With is set up this scope will go form 100 yrd to 1120 yards with the turn of one dial. It took a while to get it set up and to understand and it works great. I took 3 other very experienced shooters to the range and they were hitting bull eyes with less than .5 moa at 200 yards with 3 shot groups shooting the rifle for the first time.. I take it to the 1000 yard range that has plates at 150, 250 300 500 750 and 1000 yards. This scope hit them all with a simple turn of the dial. Keep in mind it is not a long range target scope, but is intended to hit an 18" target all the time at any distance from 100 - 1120. This is designed to bracket and shoot at unknown distance. This is a very tall scope and I recommend a stock with cheek riser for final adjustment. The optics are clear and bright. Mine is mounted on a 700 in a Accuracy Int stock. The turrets will hold dope on up to 5 different bullet weight. I shoot 168 for long range hunting and 150 for targets. I would strongly recommend this scope for someone that does not want to spend time with dope calculators. There are many great youtube video to confirm and help you make a final choice.

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?

this is a big scope and solidly built. needs a good set of rings and bases. for a patrol rifle this would be great, but it's heavy. for the 7.62x51 platform you'll have plenty of magnification and the scope is clear and rugged once sighted in. hope this helps tkt

We mounted ours on an AR but, it will be fine on a 10/22 ( I use a 4x ProStaff on my 10/22). As for competitors, I don't believe you will get better quality for the price, the reticle and optics are far superior to anything else at this price point.

I mounted a 3x12x44 on these rings and have had No issues with either the rings or scope! Happy hunting!

Hello Jacob. I bought the UTG 3-9 x 32 scope for it's compact size which matches the AirForce TaloP pistol I intended to mount it on. I also favor the forward parallax adjusting ring as opposed the "side focus" adjustment on most modern scopes. I liked the scope so much I bought another exactly the same. I have no intention of using it for extremely close range work but is a nice thought. The optics are much better than I expected. Randy

Funny I actually use these mounts with a primary arms 4-14x44 scope on my 5.56 AR. They work great. Crazy value. I feel strongly that they would work well on a 308 win. There is ample rail gripping surface area on these mounts. The quick release crossbar is rounded so dont rest it against the rail before tightening or it could mar your rails. Center the crossbar between the rails, tighten correctly and you should be good to go.-G

M.F.I really don't need to answer your question as the other readers have answered it very well. All I can add is that for the money, it is a nice scope that holds it's center on all my rifles that I have it on (3). That being said, I should mention that I have bought 3 of them.Take careHenry
