Here are some pics of what a Nikon buckmaster BDC 4.5x14 scope looks like mounted on the FNAR. I went with the BDC because I figure it was best suited for the sillouette shooting that I do at my local gun range. They have 200, 300, 400, 500, 800 yds steel targets set up. I like the 40mm size, its not too big, does not add too much weight, and I think it compliments the overall look.

I included a pic of the Harris bipod and the adapter they make for the rail system. Everything is tight and is made of quality materials. Monday I will find out if the adapter or screws loosen up or stay tight.

I got everything put together three days ago and will go shooting on Monday with South African and some Hornady 168gr handloads that I made. Range report soon to follow, pray for little to no winds. It is usually windy out there.

Range report

Will be looking forward to your range report! Picked up my rifle three days ago and am now looking at optics.

It is supposed to be a nice day tomorrow, perhaps I should go and shoot as well.

Pod Lock

Can't tell if you've got a pod lock installed on your Harris Bipod - nice addition for us with big, clumsy thumbs

I did not get the swivel type of bipod, should of but I did not.

Man that is one sexy rifle! What height rings are you using.
If I do end up buying a FNAR it is because of these pics right here.

I have the same scope on mine except it's 3-9x40.

I'm very happy with it, as the nikon glass is a ridiculously good value for the price. I got it thinking it would just hold me over a few months until I could get a better scope,, but I like it so much I think I'll stick with it for a while.

As for ring height, I went with medium leopould mounts... tight fit as there is a sliver of light between the scope objective and the rail, but it puts in nice and close to the bore axis.

DEMS are trying to outlaw BDC on scopes. Glad you got yours :?

possible :-x question inbound:

Is there a 20MOA cant to the scope rail? or is it flat? I cant find that answer anywhere.

 

[STL]

Nope. Just the standard 1913 on top. :?

Medium rings had my scope touching the rail, I had to go with high.

Nikon scope

I had set mine up pretty much the same way. I went with the 4.5-14x40 mil-dot Buckmasters model. Unfortunately, when I went to the range to zero it it was stringing shots in a perfect 6 inch vertical line. The windage was fine. I have to send it back to Nikon. I have replaced it with a Super Sniper 10x42 in Tactical Precision 30mm steel HRT rings. The Harris bipod was mounted via a LaRue QD mount. That sat a bit on the high side for my preference so I have just mounted it directly to the stud on the rail. All in all, it is sub-moa with Hornady TAP 168gr and Federal GM OTM 175gr. I am going to try some Corbon 168 gr match and Winchester 168gr ballistic silvertip this week. Hopefully I will get the scope back from Nikon quickly.

I just bought that same exact Nikon 4.5-14x BDC for my FNAR-H without even seeing this post. Then I went to see if any of you guys had that same scope and voila, I find this thread.

Beautiful rifle megawatt!

Good luck with your Nikon, sniperinblue, let us know how it works when you get it back.
