What optic?

[Alaskapopo]

Well I swung by academy today and they had the Nikon p223 after checking it out that's what I'm gonna go with, throw some QD rings on it it'll be good to go. Should I go with the high 1" rings or medium .5" ones, factory a2 sight post?

Generally if your using standard rings on an AR you need extra high. Your better off with a one piece mount made for an AR.

If I remember correctly the rings should put the center of the glass at 1.5 inches above the rail. I am using the p-223 rings so you may want to look up their specs. I can't say weather they are high or medium. The higher the rings the lower the co-witness.
If you have a fixed front sight post, you should have a 1/2 co-witness with the P-223 rings. It will appear as a slight gray blur. I have a folding front sight now so I don't see that blur as I did with a fixed FSP.

I'm looking at the utg individual QD rings they have a high 1" version so it should clear, they got good reviews on optics planet and cheaper than the p223 rings

If I may make a suggestion, I would steer clear of UTG.

I was wondering I see a lot of there stuff cheap, I was actually surprised the amount of good reviews they got

Their rings may be OK. I don't know anything about them. Their rails are pretty low quality. Is there a decent warranty?

[BigSon]

Yeah there rails don't look good at all.

Those good reviews might be from airsoft shooters.

I guarantee UTG isn't using quality alloy or even coming NEAR a decent anodizing.

That was the only knock on them was the finish. There actually quite a few reviews from AR owners on there. I think I'm gonna give them a shot for the price, for 24.99 if I don't like them they will find there way on a .22
