If you have been in the AR-15 game for any period, the chance is good that you have come across a smoking deal on one of Radical Firearms’ rifles or uppers. Any chance of me taking that company seriously went right out the window as soon as they crossed the line with a blogger that was reviewing one of their “Blueline” rifles. Diamondback Tactical announced today that it has restructured its business model from a distribution firm to a personal protective armor and equipment Make PoliceOne your homepage Open the tools.
Bolt action 223 target rifle. What scope?
This is possible the most asked question, but I swear picking a wife is easier than picking a rifle scope.
I made a deal with my son (11yo) that if he turns his grades around to higher than a 3.0 average plus extra homework I throw at him, at the end of the school year I will buy him a rifle (up until now he's been shooting mine). He has totally rocked it to the point he was kind of a goofball at the first of the year to now he's the teacher's favorite student.
Anyway... Enough bragging about my boy... Remington 700 chambered 223. He's a lefty so I went Remington since they offer in left hand bolt. Plus I have the Rem 700 chambered in 308 and love it, but shoot right handed and he's a skinny squirt and too small for a 308.
I'm going 223 since he has no interest in hunting as of yet and if he ever does, he can borrow one of my rifles instead of lugging a heavy barrel around the woods.
Scope. Something in the range of 3-12x, adjustable objective, either mil-dot reticle or target knobs so he can learn to adjust MOA, elevation, and windage. I wouldn't mind staying under $300 but also realize that it's always more expensive to buy cheap first.

We bought THIS ONE for the 17hmr he's shooting now and it's actually damn good. Better than I expected.
Suggestions?
Thank you for your time.
TL/DR: Need quality scope for 223 bolt rifle for targets out to 400 yards.
