I have two Vortex 6.5X20X44 with the BDC. They are dis continued but you can still find them for < $300.
Ok thanksI like the Nightforce NXS 8-32 for prairie dogs. The more power the better, when you are pulling the trigger. When you are using the scope to find them, 8 power is about max, due to field of view.
The Leopold 8.5-25 is also good.
Okay. For coyote hunting using a call you're in a dynamic environment not good generally for twisting turrets therefore I like the varmint type reticles. Leupold has made several configurations in the VX3 with side focus; 6.5-20x40 (short turrets), 6.5-20x50 (tall turrets) and 8.5-25x50 (tall turrets). The tall/target turrets have removable caps that would allow you to dial. You can find these used. They currently offer the varmint reticle in the VX6HD 4-24x52 34mm tube and the boone and crocket reticles in a 3-18x50 30 mm tube.Well coyotes mostly I like a clean reticle sfp either is fine also
Ok thanks been looking at a lot of different brands of scope’s including tract .Oh i didn't notice this is for coyote not small varmints. Disregard everything I said previously. Any scope that goes down to 1 or 2x and sfp. 1.5-5x20 vx3, 2-10x40 tract toric are 2 I like. If shots beyond 150 -200 are common you must be doing something wrong. Even in the wide open desert almost all my shots are inside 150. Optimize for the common shot not the rare one. The tract has really nice turrets if you need to dial for the rare long shot.
Any of them are good-Ok thanks been looking at a lot of different brands of scope’s including tract .
Ok thanks I perfer sfp myselfAny of them are good-
Just depends on what you’re going to do with them…
My groundhogs, crows, deer, squirrels from 50’-to 800yds know no difference in what is looking at them, but I can see eyeballs at them distances…
Now for FFP or SFP, I prefer the latter, don’t want my hash marks to move or reticle to change size, at different yardages…
Comes down to how deep your pockets are.
I got my scope as a back up SR scope if needed..
