Oxon88 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Im looking to fit my Remington 700 .223 with some new glass but im having trouble on deciding what to go for. my budget is between £500 - £600. Broadly, Im looking for variable mag, 30mm tube. 50mm obj. IR would be a plus. Ive been looking at the Zeiss Duralyt and Nikkon Monarch. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

cooter Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I have a Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5 - 30 on my remmy 700 .223. It does not have an IR, but it has a thing called firefly, which works better than an IR in my experience. I shoot out to 600yds, which is about as far as the scope can acceptably focus, and I can dial in the shots, although I didn't get the scope with target turrets, and at 4.5 times you can focus down to 8yds. It is at the top end of your budget, but it does everything that I want to do with the rifle, and probably more. HTH Cooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
