[QUOTE="jaybic, post: 928762, member: 17055"] Hello all, I am building a new long(er) range coyote hunting tournament rifle and am looking for scope ideas. It is a Hart barreled Stiller Predator in .243 or .243ai (undecided as of yet). I hunt in the Western Dakotas and Eastern Montana and between spot and stalk and just bino-ing up coyotes, can take long shots frequently. I have pretty much given myself a 2000.00 max budget for a scope and have had quite a few ideas given to me. I am leaning towards a NF but as I understand it the Bushnell 3.5x21 is made by the same folks in the same place. I am also considering a Zeiss 5x25 HD 5, and a few others. In short, I am very much still on the research phase of this but the time it buy is not to far off. I have also considered the Vortex line but my buddy has one and its nice but the quality control from them scares me a bit. Long story.... My criteria is this: A. Ranging capabilities using subtensions(first or second focal plane?) should my LRF not be willing to pick up the 750yd coyote on the hill side B.The ability to dial after the range is determined C. very repeatable D. a ballistic reticle that I can use when I do not have time to dial...ie coyote leaving at 600 yards and its now or never.... E. Low light conditions This is really my first foray into the long range game and I am building this rifle because I am tired of ND coyotes hanging up at longer yardages and laughing at me and my 22-250(yes, I know it will get there but throw in some ND wind and I find myself wishing for something with more steam and better bc) Sorry for the long winded post but I thought the more info I gave, the better the feedback might be. Any and all ideas are very much appreciated and have a great day! Jamie [/QUOTE]
