Hey All,
Just thought I'd share a range report regarding my recently purchased and mounted 1-4X20 Nikon African scope.
I put it on my RRA 16" Mid with a Burris PEPR mount (which I am very impressed with) and took it to the nearby revamped WW2 range (200-600 yard).
IMHO, it is a true 1X scope @ 1X. You need to play with the quick focus on the eye piece to get the true 1X for your eyes, but once dialed in, its great. I used some big trees on my property to get the 1x set up right.
On to the range...
It took a little bit to get it sighted in, the 1/2 MOA clicks don't fine tune like a 1/4 MOA click, but it works well enough. The glass was clear, and the heavy #4 reticule made both eyes open sighting and firing a breeze.
Once it was sighted in @4x I was able to group 1-1.5" @ 100 easily, and essentially tore out the inside of the diamond on the target at 1X. It stayed spot on. The two caveats, as this firearm shoots better than I do, is that I free floated the barrel with a rifle length YHM customizable handguard, with a low profile gas block under the forearm, and it was off a bipod.
I took this firearm to the 200+ yard range, and @ 200 on 4X I was able to keep all of my shots within the 10 and X rings on the match targets.
Needless to say, I love the combo of this scope and the 6.8 round.
Just thought I'd share.
Here's a picture of the setup so you can see how its all put together.
