    hi mate
    not sure wich scopes you are asking about but if it is the fixed power ones
    ie 10x and 20x i have both and find them very good but i only have used them
    up to 50 yrds the 10x is side wheel paralax and the 20x paralax is adjusted
    up at the eye piece end of the scope of the two i would go for the 10x
    regards

    Yes the x10 is the one I want ,finding one is more difficult .I think those that have one don't want to part company with it

    I've had two over the years and both were pretty good. I certainly rated them more highly than any EB Sniper I used. I know that not everyone will agree though.
    I'd have loved to hang on to them both but couldn't justify keeping them sat in boxes any longer. On my hunting rig I wanted similar or better quality with variable magnification. That arrived in the form of a Weaver 3-9x40 Tactical. On my HFT setup I found that I simply liked a little Leupold more. Don't hold your breath when trying to source the Nikko, they aren't sold too often.

    Only the later models. The original version of the Nikko 10x was rear PX. Both of mine were rear PX.
