All,

Trying to help my father out with a scope and have narrowed the search between the Nikon p223 3-9 X 40 and the Vortex crossfire 3-9 x 40.  Any pros and cons that any one would have.  I personally own and love the p223 3-9, but want to hear other feedback pertaining to the two scopes.

The P-223 3-9x40 will be much brighter in low light than the Crossfire.  On the other hand, the Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40, which costs little more, is way brighter and clearer than the P-223.  But it is not a tactical scope.  Unless you are shooting beyond 300 yards regularly, you don't really need exposed turrets and BDC reticles.

Thank you.  We like to shoot between 100 and 300 yards at our local ranges.  May look into the vortex but the  P223 is nice with the exposed turrets.
