I'm still looking for my 223 scope and liking the Nikon Monarch but still searching.
Thanks for everyone's comments so far
Cool, take some pictures and give us a short review of the rifle and scope when you get set up and put some rounds down range.
To further this discussion, I have heard great things about the following scope brands: Burris, Vortex, Redfield, Swift, Sightron and Leatherwood. Unfortunately, I have never used any of them and only ever even seen Burris and Redfield in use.
Some brands I have tried and was not impressed with; Simmons, Barska, BSA and Centerpoint. The Simmons was actually OK for what it was and might be ok for a budget rifle or 22lr of some sort. The other offerings I tried were big, bulky, clunky scopes and all of them had very short eye relief, very dim images and I could never seem to precisely zero any of them. The centerpoint and BSA scopes also severely dented under the pressure of the scope rings being tightened.
And of course - Your Mileage May Vary -
