Have had a fixed 6x by 44mm on my 10ML-II for years but wanted more magnification and went with the Vortex Viper. My Nikko 6x is now my backup scope for my 10ML-II. With quick detach rings a changeover is done in minutes. I also have a Nikko scope on my .223 and neither scope has given me any issues after some rough handling.

Thanks Ed. How's the clarity of the glass compared to the Viper?

Thanks Ed. How's the clarity of the glass compared to the Viper? For clarity my older eyes would say they are about equal. My 6x Nikko is great for light gathering ability with the lens coating it has. In ravines or gulley’s where darkness sets in quicker my Nikko would let me clearly see right to the end of the time limit allowed. I can’t vouch for what quality you might get today as my Nikko’s are over 15years old and still dependable to this day. Ed

They got a real bad rap when they were coming on the Howas as a package (they still do). The scopes they made for that were POSs. Some of the older high end models were decent. Someone told me they were being made by Hakko (now Japan Optics) in Japan but then the cheaper models started coming out of China and now I think all of them are from China. I haven't looked thru any of the newer ones but the older ones they bragged on low light but didn't seem that great to me compared to a similar Nikon or Bushnell. Legacy Sports handles US distribution and warranty service.
For a scope in the same class and more important, price range, I would go with a Weaver Classic Extreme 6-24X50 for $299 from Natchez.
