Doing much better after getting the D740 sighted in when its actually dark. I had it right on at 100yds a week back during the day at the range with the cap closed. Well it seems that way and sighting it in at night w/the front cap open there is a big difference in POA according to other NV scope owners.
Friday night I had shot 2 coyotes at about 140 yards & both spun & split like a rocket & I knew I had a nice solid hold/hit.
I could see them at 500 yards when they stopped for a few seconds biting at the front legs area as I could see them in my D740 scope still....DARN!
Later that night after knowing it was perfect at the range I actually shot it at a target at 4am and it printed 4" right and 2" low...Dang how could it change so much?!
Got it right on target in 3 shots at 125 yards and told myself lets get this going!
This one was dropped at 252 yards saturday in the corn stalk cut field. Came in from a area w/low gullies/trees, creeks and on a smaller cattle ranch that wont allow coyote calling to the ranch we have full access on. It did a wide circle trying to get downwind walked back & forth from our side to the "safe" side never stopping, then back onto our side by 80 yards and finaly stopped at a lip squeek and that was all I needed. I was tracking it w/the scope, held a tad high above the shoulder since the stalks blocked the rest and popped it right behind the skull in its neck...DRT. Savage build 6x45, 65g vmax at it again #53 also this year!
Male at about 34lbs and going into its summer coat.
