[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 765245, member: 17844"] I have had a few Nikko scopes in my time and the one weakness I have come up against was their ability to take recoil. In the end the old models give up holding zero but newer ones may be better , but I doubt it . I don't know for sure now as I have not bought one in many years . The only one left a Nikko 4 to 12 Platinum has terrific optics but not a well made scope . If you get hold of the objective bell and wiggle it you can see the reticule moving about and it stops in different positions optically. They have thin tubes and are very susceptible to out of centre mounting and getting ring marks. They are a cheap scope and you get what you pay for so to speak. I reckon about two years of 308 recoil will pull it up , hope I am wrong but that is what I have experienced on 308 and 30-06 rifles. On a 223 they work much better . [/QUOTE]
