Purpose longer range target shooting from 100+-200+ yards guns will be Daniel defense ar 15 m4 clone and or ruger 10/22 I currently have a eotech 516 and 3x magnifier on the ar iron sites on the ruger Iam looking at the vortex crossfire ii 3x9 50 bdc vs the vortex 3x9 diamondback 40 I am guessing the diamondback is a bit more rugged from the discription since this is not a hunting gun may not pertain for the extra money. What are the comprimises between the 2 scopes I guess the 50 objective should bring more light in?
The crossfire is nitrogen purged the diamondback is argon purged both inert gases so what is the difference? There is a 30 difference between the two so both are reasonable. the last scope I am looking at is the nikon p 223 also in the price range has the nikon name and I like their online bullet calculator for bdc |

thanks for the input I agree about the ranges although I would like to shoot further here in the east most of the shooting ranges are lucky to have a 100 yard range however there is a longer range place about a 35 minutes away I would like to try. I don't think the bdc takes away but rather adds on. I found out vortex also has a bdc calculator on their site also. I think anyone of those would be okay for me still trying to narrow it down |

I have two of the Nikon scopes. One is an M-223 1-4x, the other is an M-223 2-8x. I use them on a Stag-Arms 2-T and have the SpotOn software on an iPhone. I really like the scopes and the software, at least for a 223. I've only shot it out to 300 yards, but worked great there.
I don't have anything else to compare it to, however. But so far, I think they are excellent. 3" group at 300 yards with the Stag. I have maybe 600 rounds experience with the Nikons. Joe |
