[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2424326, member: 91783"] For years I just ran a fixed 10 power scope with a duplex reticle . I still don't change the power on my scope for the most part I set it at the upper magnification and leave it there . But I don't live where you do my area is pretty open compared to some of the brushy or swampy areas some of you live in . For my calling rifle , a 223 bolt action wincherter model 70 , I zero it at 100 yards and leave it there as for calling most of my shots can be taken well under 100 yards so I don't set it at battle range of 200 yards because I tend to shoot over or under them when I set it at 200 yards . With the equipment I use I don't take shots longer then 300 yards because that's past my comfort zone with it . If I find the need to reach out on a specific coyote that won't come closer after a couple of attempts days of calling it , I change to another rifle , a 1973 , 30-06 winchester model 70 or a 6.5 x 284 built for those coyote . The 30-06 has a fixed 12 , and the 6.5 has a 8.5x25 mil dot reticle . Both of these rifles are zeroed at 200 yards .I don't like a very busy reticle and tend to believe in keeping it simple when I can . Nobody hits them all but do your best to stack the deck in your favor for calling think close shots under 100 yards seems to be the normal . [/QUOTE]
