Thread: Good value scope .223

Key points
- Must be FFP
- Prefer MRAD
- Budget $500-$800

Ive got expirience using the Nightforce ATACR, Vortex Viper and Leupold Mark 6 so much prefer FFP, MRAD and parallax adjustment.
Few options ive been looking at is
- Nikko Stirling Diamond 4-16x44
- Athlon Talos BTR 4-14x44
- Ranger Premier 4.5-14x44 (Heard these were made in the same factory as the Primary Arms sights?)

Anyone have any expirience or recommendations on other sights? Not overly keen on the Ranger as they dont even have a website for their gear, but if its an okay sight i can get over that.

Cheers

Look for an old Bushnell LRHS/LRTS.

Seems you lot did not get many of the 3-12x44 version, but there are a few old ads for the 4.5-18x44.

They are excellent scopes, FFP and Mil/MRAD, nice reticles, zero stop elevation with well designed turret. Windage either capped or locking.
