[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 483108, member: 4491"] you said the guy you got your advice from was an old prairie dog hunter but didn't state if that was your intended quarry. if it's prairie dogs, then i think a fixed power would work well. they aren't very mobile and usually give you time to set up. but, if coyotes or foxes are in the mix, i think you would be better served by a variable, especially when they are fairly close. a 4-14 would work well for both senarios,and i'm pretty sure they have a Conquest in that power range. i'm not a varmint hunter, but if i was, i would have a ballistic type of reticle. those criters can really change distance in a hurry which can make cranking turrets difficult. this is where a reticle with other hash marks really shines. when it's fast and there's not much time, you can still make a good shot.
