My wife got me a new scope for my new CZ 457 for my birthday.

Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP Rifle Scope
This is my 1st FFP scope. I will have it at the range hopefully tomorrow. I have it mounted on my CZ and bore-sighted in. It's going to be cold tomorrow but I will go anyway. It's 24x so it has the same power as my Crossfires but it is supposed to be a big step up from the Crossfire scope. Now maybe the CZ will shoot with my Ruger Precision Rimfire. So far it can't.

Wife got you a Vortex, and not a NcStar? She's definitely a keeper!

Very Nice present and a great wife, I have several Vortex Crossfire scopes and I like them. I have a Diamondback that I bought on sale that I have yet to find a home for. It's always nice to have spare scopes, gives me a reason to buy a new gun 😊

Happy Birthday and as others have stated, your wife is a keeper.

Will this new rifle scope parallax adjust too 25 yards ?

I know you already have your new rifle scope, but as a FYI, Luepold has for decades offered rimfire rifle scopes of high magnification.

Also. Look at,
rimfirecenteral.com
rimfirebenchrestforum.com
as a alternate firearms forum regarding precision rimfire. There are several more forums regarding precision rimfire.

Whatever you learn from any of these forums, kindly post what you learned back here for other TFF members.

Your wife has great taste! The Diamondback series are really clear and hopeful will Track just like all other Vortex scopes.
6X24 FFP on a 22 Rimfire should be interesting. Which Reticle did you get? Let us know what you think of it.

If you're thinking about using Vortex rings, you might want to take a look at the Steiner H-Series as well.

I used the Leupold Rifleman Medium scope rings. 30mm. They hold the scope nice and low on the barrel.

They aren't as low as our scope on my wife's Savage but this should do fine.

I was worried about using an FFP scope for precision shooting but I really like it now.

MOA reticle. Not iluminated.

Now your ready to try NRL22! HHappy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁

That's likely to be a great scope. I've got 3 of the 4-16 x 44s in MRAD reticles. FFP is where it's at for quickly getting on target! Congrats, Val! 😀

Very nice scope gvw3!
When I use my FFP scope on my CZ, I really don't notice the difference between it and a SFP.
I'm interested in hearing about your experience and impressions.


It should, but maybe your Ruger is a ringer!

Now maybe the CZ will shoot with my Ruger Precision Rimfire. So far it can't.

Are you saying that you did not notice the crosshairs growing larger and shrinking as you zoomed in and out? What scope is it?

Congratulations. Great gift. And Happy Birthday again.

Yes, we'll watch for the range report.

I had to go to my club today to pay my dues for the year. No the kind Of day I would go to the range. 22° with a 15 mph wind but nevertheless I brought my CZ 457 to sight in the scope. This rifle scope combo is a winner.

After a quick sight in I got this group. My son shot a group and it was the best one I have seen him do. Almost as good as this one. He wants to get a CZ now. I think when I have more time and it's a little warmer it will outshoot my RPRF.

Nice shootin' Val. So what do you think of the FFP as you go through the low to high magnification range? Is a Diamondback 6-24 or 8-24?

 

[Gudaki]

Nice shooting!

Yes, that's what I mean, but I don't frequently zoom in and out, so that may be why I haven't noticed the difference. It's a SwampFox 6-24x50 Patriot.

It's a 6x24. I like the FFP as I crank it all the way up to 24. My eyes are so bad I can't see the SFP well at 100 yards. I can with this scope.
