I'm guessing .308?

no 223

I say go for the super sniper. I have heard nothing but good about them. I think the lower magnification would be better as well. You'll spend less time saying "where the heck is the target?"

Nikon gets very good marks from paid tactical riflemen around here.

IMO you are looking at way too much magnification on your scopes. As for me, I rarely use more than 6 or 8 power. 10 power is good for 600 yards.

I think adjustable paralax is more important than high magnification.

for .223 I would vote for the millet designated marksmen scope.

Millett Sights

Yes. Way too much magnification. A nice 4 power will do you very good. Variable power scopes use to be not as good as fixed power, but you may look at those, if you haven't done so already.

What are you planning on using the scoped rifle for? Is this rifle being built to shoot tiny groups from a rest? Or for taking to a prairie dog shoot? Or is this a general purpose gun? Varmint (coyote) hunting?

 

[nova512]

all of thee above melensdad, the nikon is 3-12x42,, the ss is pretty close to that same power

nova, I checked out the monarch then decided on the buckmaster instead. the 3% light transmission advantage wasnt enough for me to want to pay the extra 100 bucks.

It looks like the answers you have received are all over the place. good luck

 

[nova512]

that was also an obtion slab didnt know if it was along the same lines
