AGS Scopes

pestshooter7

Any info on an AGS scope for a 223. (6-24x50).
Target and fox mostly.

AGS are meant to be a good scope. 24 is a lot of magnification imo. What range are you shooting them at

i heard somewhere that AGS had taken over Simmons....or vice versa...either way ive used an AGS and it seemed to be a good scope, my uncle had one on a 22 250...

red or green and can be dimmed. Super piece of kit and AGS were indeed Simmons

you would want to be aiming kinda high to hit something at 300+ with a .223, that would be some shot on a grey. i was going to buy that same scope i think it was around €500 ?? instead i got a zeiss in from the us 6.5x20x50 all in i paid €690 great for night shooting.

Yea zeroed 1 1/2" high 100 yrds bout 7 inches low at 300! With mildots it not that hard on a calm day!! Plenty of practice on targets!! Only 270 euro in galway for AGS 6-24
