[QUOTE="Idgunner, post: 996085, member: 84194"] I'm new to this site and just found this thread. Last year I bought a Savage .223 that came with a Nikon BDC scope mounted. I plan to use it for coyotes and this year I decided to try my luck with wolves and bought a rifle that I had 30 years ago, a Ruger M77 in 25-06. After a little research I put a Burris C4 Plus on it and went to the range. I worked up a MOA chart for the factory ammo that I was shooting and took along my Leica rangefinder for accurate distance. After a few rounds to get zeroed at 100 yards I ranged a steel plate at 200 yards and checked the chart and dialed in the bullet drop on the turret and smacked the plate. The next plate was almost 400 yards out according to the Leica so I checked the chart numbers and cranked in the turret and after three shots also smacked that plate. Now I was sold on the Burris C4 Plus and I wanted one for the .223. I bought my first one for the sale price of $299 and wanted to get the AR model for the second rifle at the same price. I found one in Texas and bought it. The AR-5.56 version of the C4 Plus comes with a custom clicker already calibrated for a 3200 fps 55gr bullet. As soon as it arrived I pulled the Nikon off of the Savage and mounted the Burris. I boresighted it on my kitchen table as best I could and headed to the range. It was shooting one inch to the left at 25 yards and about the right height. Three shots later and it was zeroed and I punched a hole in the 100 yard target. It went exactly where I aimed. The Leica ranged the second target, another steel plate, at just under 200 yards to I rotated the turret accordingly and smacked that plate. The next target is a steel plate of a turkey at 300 yards. I dialed it in and again, after two shots went high the third one smacked steel. gun) Wanting to see if the scope would track back in I dialed it back to just under 200 yards and hit the first steel plate, off hand no less. :) I'm sold on the Burris C4 plus. The day that I sighted in the 25-06 there was a crosswind blowing and I used the windage chart on the scope and it held true. The AR model that I bought also had a pleasant surprise, an ARD was mounted on the front. Both scopes are 4.5x14-42mm and I wondered if the ARD would fit the scope on my 25-06, it does so I'm also going to order one of those for that scope. I'm not into shooting critters at 600 or 700 yards but I am into making good clean shots out to 500 with whatever rife I have at the time. I believe the Burris C4 Plus on both of these rifles will help me do that. (no, I don't work for Burris, but I do like their scopes) :D I hope this helps. Bud [/QUOTE]
