[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1694736, member: 104167"] I just saw Doug's post, and I have to agree with most of it. Hunting is different than paper or steel shooting. Coyote hunters know all about the grief of time for a target to stand still!. I like a clean scope with a Varmint reticle with 5 or 6 stadia lines. Leupold LRT Varmint or Zeiss Conquest Varmint 1000, etc. You can make the stadia lines match whatever you want, almost, well, you can figure out where the lines will COINCIDE with your stadia lines. . SO, the 3rd line down might be 430 yards instead of 400, 4th line down 485, 5th line down 560, etc. so what, as long as you know what that is. Then you can really mess with it by making your center zero 300 or 350 yards.. you'll never miss a reasonable hunting shot from 100 to 500 yards.... with a fast cartridge. The only reason ARs in 5.56 are used at 600 yard matches is because the shooters know the distance and are sighted in for that. Good luck eyeballing 275 and 325 yards and hitting it with that set-up. MAYBE you'll his somewhere on a man size sillhouette, maybe. [/QUOTE]
