[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 426532, member: 21068"] Either power you mentioned should do just fine for yotes and pooches. I've shot alot of coyotes out to around 500yds give or take a little, and never felt a bit underpowed with 15X. Too much power in the prarie dog towns is sometimes a waste.........what I mean is; Mirage gets really bad. I've done most of my dog shooting with 12 to 16X. I can usually spot my own shots (assuming gun doesn't recoil much) and keeping it below 16X still allows me to see through the heat waves too. You might benefit from 18X or more for load testing/development. I recently saw a video of a guy making a 1000 yd shot on a coyote with only a 14X scope. For many many years, I used a 6.5-20X, I only used 20X for load testing. Most other times it stayed on 12-16X. [/QUOTE]
