[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1141323, member: 12193"] You could shoot to 1200 yards or beyond with Vortex, Leupold, Nightforce, or many others. I like the Vortex for the solid turrets and awesome reticle, and to me it's a great match for a Sendero. I have used the PST along side Nightforce and there is only a slight difference in optical quality. I prefer the weight, turrets, and reticle of the Vortex PST. If you want a scope in the $500-700 range this is a great choice. 4-16x would be good for coyotes and hogs. The Leupold VX-6 has glass every bit as good as Nightforce and a good reticle in the TMOA. It's my favorite hunting scope due to the wide range of magnification, light weight, and excellent glass. Get some TAC dials for it and it's about perfect. You'll want to mount it on a Picatinny rail for sure since this scope has a very short piece of tube between the turrets and objective bell. This scope will cost you $1000-1200 but it gives you better glass and wider range of magnification compared to the Vortex. I don't think they can install those but I could be mistaken. I had a VX-L 30mm scope that I wanted to have M3s put on and they told me it couldn't be done. I would check with Leupold before buying one. The VX-3 is a good scope for the money, I've just never found one with a reticle and turrets that I like for long range. A VX-3 CDS is hard to beat for a light weight 500 yard scope. [/QUOTE]
