Junk!
One came on a howa I picked up and it wouldnt hold zero. Might work on a .22 rimfire but it sure as hell doesnt work on my 22-250.
Anyone have any experience with them?

Ok, well that answers that! LOL!
i've got one and it works great, holds fine zero on my .308. I know another guy that has multiples that have held up just fine
It could be that I received the only one that had a flaw! My luck kinda goes that way...

They make a couple different levels of Nikko Stirlings. I have four 6-24x56 Nighteaters. Three are great. Love the fine line reticle with hashes. Fourth one does NOT hold zero.
For some reason they are popular with air gunners.
I have a pair of 10-50x60 Diamonds that I used to use for Field Target matches. The reason that they are popular with airgunners is the large amount of light that they let in, the level of magnification, the side focus knob can be accurately calibrated for distances less than 70 yards and that the zero is repeatable when doing a lot of clicking. The drop table I used to use had as much as 110 clicks difference in the scope setting depending on the distance to the targets from zero. I always found that the two scopes would come back to zero. These days the pair of scopes are on two 22-250AIs that I use for prairie dogs. They are just as repeatable now when going from a 200 yard zero to out as far as I have found that I need to shoot.

The Diamond Series is a much improved scope. I saw them at the 2009 SHOT Show. The lenses are Japanese and the scopes are assembled in China. For what they cost though, I'd rather spring for a Nikon, 4200 series Bushnell or Sightron.
