the 223 a 3x9 loopy
the 22-250 3x9 loopy
spare scope is a loopy.

clearly a tainted opinion

Actually when it comes to their rifle scopes, most people have a very one eyed view.

Not me, I have a united nations of them, a nikon, 2 nikko sterling nighteaters, 3 vortexs, a loopy vx1, 2 weavers, a hawke and a bushnell plus a few that decorate the top of the safe.
Only one is a duplex reticle (the loopy), all the others are either mil or bdc types as I find them much better to use.

I think those night eaters are way underrated. I had a sling break on me and rifle landed on eyepeice end of scope. Bent the tube by the ring and couldn't remove the bolt as scope was to low. Had a few days hunting so single fed a few rounds to check zero.... Was an inch high. Just took abit of moving ya head to find a good picture.

Thanks again for the comments and thoughts.

I ended up putting the Leupold on the sako 243, Nikon on the sako 22, the Tasco on the older 22, and the Minolta spare. The 223 kept its old Bushnell.

It seems a bit strange having the 4-12 on a wee 22; but I tend to snipe bunnies from a distance, and the VX2 is a much lighter scope which is nice on the big 243.
