Scope for a .223 that's pvs14 compatible?

[PointBlank]

I've just aquired a cz .223 which will need a scope but I also would like it to work with a pvs14. Has anyone got any experience or advice?
Cheers

I bet it does! can't really justify another swaro to go on top of a >£400 cz.

​......unless one came up at the right price

nobody got any suggestions for a mid-range scope that is proven good with a pvs14? Will I need an adjustable parallax?

Cheers

You'll definitely benifit with an adjustable parallax with an add on. I've got a z6i and although I can get a cobra dsa to hang off the back if I screw the eye bell out I'd pick a standard z6 over the illuminated ret jobbie just for the ease of mounting. Its also very easy to knock the illuminated ret on which wont do your mono any favours either. A bushnell 6500 may be an option as a compromise, I've got one and its definitely better than my z6 as it parrallaxes down to 10yrds and seems to need less IR. it's said they track well but in all honesty I've never tried dialling and seeing how it returns to zero as its only on an fac air. Others seem to recommend Mamba lite's etc but I have no experience of them..

+1 for Bushnell Elite 6500 as a mid range scope.

re: mounting on a Z6i - try using the Pulsar DSA - works very well.

I use Swarovski Z6 and a Nightforce NXS with PVS14 - both work very well. Check Singing Stalkers recent thread on the same issue. There is much said regarding the coatings stopping IR transmission on better scopes - jury's out for me. We all look at things in different ways and hence have our personal favourites.

PVS 14 works great behind a meopta r1r 3-12x56. Just don't use the illumination on the ret.

I see uttings have got them for under £500, shame they have sold out of mildot reticles

They regularly have deals on optics, email them. They were out of the mildot ret when I bought mine but they stood the discounted price and emailed me for payment when the mildots were back in stock.

I have a Leupold Mk 4 tactical 4.5-14x50 that I have used an archer and PVS14 on and it works a treat.
the scope is for sale for £450, cost over a grand new.
