Gentlemen, building my wife a 5.56 AR15 (she wants a purple rifle) and I have a Fulton 16" .308 with DPMS lower. We shoot at 100 yards mostly but 2-4 times a year go to the desert to shoot 500+ yards. Would like a scope that has interchangeability with both platforms. Currently using a Leupold Mark AR 3-9X40mm on another 16" AR15 build that my wife shoots loves it(but it isn't purple so new gun build for her). Is the NF 2.5-10X a good choice for a scope, if so what quick disconnect mount would be suggested, and what model NF scope would provide good interchangeability. Thanks for the input.

If she likes the Leupold, get her another one. Use what you know.

Perhaps pick an LRT M1 or M3 in 3.5-10x40mm. I run three of them, and need a couple more.

I say this because I have a couple scopes that I am no longer a fan of, because I am used to the Leupolds.

I have that scope mounted on a LaRue LT104 that I move back and forth between 2 rifles. Works fine but have to keep track of adjustments. 10 power ain't a whole lot for small targets far away.

I got a NF 2.5-10x32mm (NP-R2) in a Larue Tactical QD mount on my 6.5 Grendel AR15 and love it. Excellent scope, in my opinion, for 10-800yd.

here's a 2/3 scale ISPC target at 560yd at 10x.

2.5-10 is fine and the NF scopes are clear and crisp. I have two nf 5.5-22 nxs and love em
