[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1439421, member: 103303"] There are a lot of good options listed here. +1 for the secondary market, especially if you don't know exactly what you want. your dollar will go farther there, and scopes hold their value pretty well - if you buy smart, you may be be able to get your money back out of it when it comes time to upgrade. Lots of good scopes suggested. I used a Leupold VXR Patrol 3-9x40 on my .223 this last season, and for a pure predator scope, inside 500yd I think it's hard to beat. The reticle is a bit thick for P-dogs, so I switched over to a vortex razor LH 3-15x42 for the spring. Technically the razor is a much 'better' scope but when the snow flies I'll be going back to the vxr. It seems like the tougher conditions become, the better the VXR Patrol performs. Poor lighting, complicated backgrounds, and brief opportunities at moving targets is what this scope is built for. -it's compact and durable -the reticle thick - it doesn't get lost which ive had happen with 'varmint' or target style reticles, -can dial and/or hold - Mil/Mil simplicity. -I prefer the firedot illumination to an 'illuminated reticle'. Easier for getting on target, especially when light and time are not on my side. -fixed paralax is one less thing to worry about, low magnification reduces parallax error. I don't see a lot of praise for the vxr Patrol 3-9x40, but for a coyote gun it gets my recommendation. [/QUOTE]
