Sounds like the consensus is that 24x is really too much for some, or most situations and I'd agree. My main pdog guns wear 6.5-20 Meoptas and that's pretty close to perfect imo. The others wear 4.5-14 and honestly that's not bad at all. Sometimes 14 to 16 is all you can use anyway. I like to range and dial when practical, and yes, a 204 is just made for pdogs.
Here's another curveball idea. I have 2 of the Burris Eliminators, and normally use them for coyote calling and big game. Last year I tried them on pdogs and I wish I had more of them! Instant ranging, so no getting confused on which mound you ranged. Puts the orange dot right where you need to hold. It's just devastating. Yes, the glass is not great, fov is small, kind of heavy and bulky. But they do increase speed and hits imo and make trajectory kind of a non-factor. Of course the 204 won't need much help out to 250 or so.
