[QUOTE="jerrschmitt, post: 520676, member: 16076"] You should have no problem seeing prairie dogs with either scope. My buddy uses a 4.5-14 on his .243 AI and has taken dog out to 900 yards with it. I used a 3-9 for many years with no problem. 500 yard prairie dog with a .223 AR might be a little tough to do unless you have varmint designed rifle. I don't like any of the magic reticules. Just a plane fine cross hair on any of my scopes. I do have one scope with a mil dot and I have used it for hold off on windage but the darn thing covers a prairie dog at any distance and it's useless for ranging any varmint. .223 is marginal on coyotes at any distance in my estimation. I've taken a few with it but went back to my .243 Win. [/QUOTE]
