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

    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.
