But had a squiz through the nikon monarch the other day and it seemed real nice. I want it to match a howa mini m1500 223 just after some advice and opinions cheers
Tldr:: want new scope to suit how 1500 233 advice please

make sure you focus whatever scope you get for your eyes, makes a big difference
From the Leupold Manual

FOCUSING THE RETICLE
Secure the scope and firearm in a firm rest
. Safely point
the scope at a light colored background
.
1 . If the eyepiece has a lockring, grasp the eyepiece
with your hand and rotate counterclockwise until the
lock is loose
.
2 . Look through the scope while pointed at a light
colored background
. Look away every so often to
relax your eye between focus checks
. Rotate the
eyepiece and recheck focus repeatedly until the
reticle is sharp
.
3 . If your eyepiece has a lockring, retighten the lockring
against the eyepiece .
