Keaner 97 Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Can anyone recommend a good parallax scope for a 223? I'm looking at either a Nikon monarch 3 or a vortex diamond back hp. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,714 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 It comes down to money, I have a vortex viper HS-T 6-24x50 on my .243 and the quality of the glass is second to none, this scope will set you back around £600 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keaner 97 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Do the vortex scopes hold there zero well from knocks and bumps etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,714 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yes mate, all my rifles are tools to do a job and get treated as such, the vortex scopes also come with lifetime warranty, no need to fill a warranty form out, if there’s a problem just contact them and send them the scope if they can’t fix it they send you a new one, I don’t know any other manufacturer that does that 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,714 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I’ve just seen your post in the night vision section, if you are wanting to use a pard ad-on then you need a lower quality scope, the coating on the glass on the vortex gives you a hazier view than a cheaper glass, I know someone that uses the pard on a MTC scope and it works very well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keaner 97 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Cheers for both bits of advise stavross 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delswal 3,817 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Totally agree with stavross, I have 2 vortex scopes 1 on a .222 and the other on a 6.5x55 both hold zero perfectly and return to zero perfectly, with a warranty second to none I personally would not purchase any other scope regarding value for money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keaner 97 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Sounds like vortex is the way to go then. Have you tried a pard 007 with your vortex stavross? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,714 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yes, I was wanting one for the .243, I didn’t get one in the end as the image wasn’t the clearest and I would of thought it would be worse in darkness, I’ve looked through one fitted to an MTC scope and the image was Chrystal clear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David.evans 5,323 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Stav what MTC did you look thro with the pard , just thinking of changing my winder atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,714 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 It was an old MTC viper, 6-24x50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keaner 97 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Can you lads recommend a good parallax scope that's got a 25mm tube and 40mm objective Otherwise it's gonna start getting expensive again if I gonna change rings aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,714 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 This is a little cracker, the glass isn’t as high quality as what’s in mine ( not coated the same ) so it should be ok with the pard, if you have the time go on uttings web site, the have a very big selection of scopes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,714 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 3 hours ago, Stavross said: It was an old MTC viper, 6-24x50 I was wrong on that Dave it was a 4-16x50 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keaner 97 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yeh I've been looking at that diamond back range. Stuck between that one or the Nikon monarch 3. Think il give that vortex a try. Didn't realise it was different glass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
