[QUOTE="Takem406, post: 883653, member: 72588"] I need a scope for the wifes 243. The rifle is a prairie rifle, used for prairie dogs and prairie deer. Shots probably will be under 400 for deer and 500 for dogs. The simpler the better with a high end of about 16x-18x and a low end no high than 4x. Probably a simple reticle would be best. Shes been using a VX2 3-9 but its just not enough zoom past 250 especially on dogs. This morning she missed a doe and I'm pretty sure she just could get a good enough picture at 300. Budget would be about $600. I've been looking at the Votex Viper 4-16x50 LR. I'd like to get two of the same scopes, the other would go on my 308/her elk rifle. On the Votex can the elevation turret be set to yards instead of MOA clicks? I'm no scout sniper and MOA is rocket science to me let alone the wife. But I can take a range readings and go from there. I know Huskemaw uses yardage and a couple others. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
