[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 170843, member: 8947"] [b]Great scopes[/b] I use several Elite 4200 scopes with excellent results both mechanically and optically. My scopes have survived my scope torture tests with flying colours (see my article on the home page). I shoot a 223 as well with 75gr Amax. Presently, my scopes of choice are the 6X24 AO w/ mil dots, the 1" side focus with mil dots. Both will get the 223 a long ways out. I like the mil dots to help with windage hold off and adjusting for elevation. I shim my short range zero using the 'upper' mil dots so can increase the effective elevation adjustment of my scopes. With 25 to 30min of up, they will not go from 100yds to 1000yds just with turrent elevation alone. A combo of dots and turrents will do the job. I am looking seriously at the new tactical 30mm version. has 45 to 50min of up which is more then enough for this cartridge. I use Burris rings w/inserts and sometimes the Farrel MOA base to shim my scopes. The 8x32 is a great target scope but you will be limited with the amount of up in this scope. Jerry [/QUOTE]
