308 AR Scopes
Nikon Monarch X AR Rifle Scope, Nikon M-308 Rifle Scope
Without question the Nikon Monarch line of rifle scopes is one of the most popular scopes for the AR-15 rifle. It’s priced within reach of most shooters with performance and features that rival much more costly scopes.
Nikon M-308 Rifle Scope
In addition to the Monarch X there’s is a low cost Monarch and premium Monarch Gold lines available. Many of the Monarch Gold models include Tactical/Target Turrets in the box. The models that don’t include the additional turrets will have them available directly from Nikon. Update – Since posting this Nikon has come out with many “Tactical” scopes with caliber specific reticles. In case of the .308 they are referred to as the Nikon M-308. In my opinion the M-308 along with their .223 counterpart the M-223 are the best value scopes available for their respective platforms. Check them out here.
