Topic: AR-fifteen Telescopic for Coyote Posted: January/fifteen/2012 at 02:26
Hey guys,
I just picked upwards a new gun and am looking to be doing mostly coyote hunting with it with a little scrap of time at the range. Where I'grand at is pretty open up, so I'd like something that will leave me comfortable shooting out to 300 yards. I'one thousand looking for something in the $300 range and don't have any mounts right now. I know nice mounts approach this range, so I know I'thou going to have to make some compromises
With my 1:vii twist I'm planning on shooting some heavier loads, but I know I'll be shooting some 55gr. when I'm at the range. For hunting I'll be shooting handloads (probably 62 or 75gr.).
From what I've seen, the Leopold Mark AR looks dainty, and love their VX-iii on my .308!
This is local, and looks like a pretty decent deal, although I'chiliad not certain if the 9x magnification is as high equally I'd like:
I know this topic has been talked about quite a bit, and going back through a few pages gave me some good recommendations, simply not much within my small-scale budget.
Here's the firearm I got, although mine has some MOE goodies on it now!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Target guns used on the range with a solid rest can be used with very high power scopes but scopes that are used for quick target acquisition at distances under 100 yds are typically very low power scopes. I would look strongly at a 6x42 stock-still power scope because they will be a very brilliant optic in low light brighter than a scope that was higher power with the same size objective but however not and then large as to get bad-mannered. Illumination is as well helpful like a Trijicon compact ACOG but that is way over your price range. Edited by Urimaginaryfrnd - February/22/2012 at 08:49

I would also expect into the Nikon Coyote and perhaps the Vortex Diamondback 3.five-10x50 BDC.

I've been talking to a few of my buddies that exercise a lot of hunting in the same areas I volition be, and they all accept said that the vast bulk of their kills are at 250+ yards, and it'south not uncommon to exist making kills at the 4-500yard range. I'll also be picking up a bipod, and we do a lot of calling to bring them in to usa. That being said, I think I'm going to expect for something with a wide range of adaptability to information technology.
I really like the idea of having the drop compensation of the leupold mark AR and the nikon coyote special take to them for the five.56 load, although I don't know how accurate the compensation will be at longer distances.
I'm heavily because the both of them (the mark AR in the 4-12, and the nikon in the 4.5-xiv) or a used VX3 in four.5-14), and keep leaning to the mark AR.
Any experience with mounts/rings in the sub $60 range?
I just want something that won't motion on me once I have it dialed in. I'yard not planning on removing the telescopic in one case it'due south set.
thanks again!

With a 2d focal plane telescopic the hold over marks on the reticle represent a different distance at every unlike magnification and then not abiding similar an FFP scope or a stock-still power. If you are really out at 200 to 400 yds you will want more ability if under 200 you tin can make practise with even a 1-4 but if you are working off a bipod or shooting sticks I'd look real difficult at these the drinking glass is mode meliorate than average:
The rapid Z balistic reckoner on the Zeiss web site will help yous effigy out what power to set the scope on for the marks to exist shut to representing known distance for your cartridge. Edited by Urimaginaryfrnd - February/22/2012 at 08:51

Post Options Cheers(0) QuoteReply Posted: January/21/2012 at 09:53Skylar have yous used one of the Nikon Coyote scopes ? I take looked at them just not used 1. What I have heard is that they work better in actual use than would exist expected because the target is moving so frameing it in the circumvolve seem to work. The trouble that I percieve is that the 4.v-14 version to accurately use the balistic reticle you would exist at 14x which is too high to mitt concur and would need a adequately solid rest and if you punch information technology downwardly to lower powers like 9x with a 2d focal plane your reticle is going to be way off on what information technology represents and you shoot over the target.
I tend to remember the 3-ix version would exist a better choice considering you really could work at 9x and nevertheless have the balistic reticle accurately stand for known distances as marked. What I observe in bodily use is guys buy a second focal airplane scope like these the reticle always appears the same size they dial the ability down and the field of view side to side gets wider with lower power only they fail to realize that what the marks on the balistic reticle stand for changes radically with changes in magnification. Once a guy understands that information technology takes some piece of work to determine what the marks correspond at each known power. Instance if y'all have a 14x telescopic and zippo at 100 and line iii represents 300 then you dial down to half the magnification at 7x that line 3 is now a 600 yd marking not a 300 yd mark. May be its just me but the circles drive me nuts. I guess if yous set zero with a round target you could be more than precise. I'd like it a lot amend if they had continued fine crosshairs through the huge center circle to be able to go a precise null.

Hard to beat this i in actual field use. 
Zip at 200 next marker down 300 next mark 400 and 500 wher the heavy role of the reticle starts.
6x low plenty power to hand hold it and go onto a moving target.
Illumination for night and mil dots for hold over just run a balistic chart with drop in mils. 2d focal plane and then half the ability double what the hold over marks represent.

Post Options Thanks(0) QuoteAnswer Posted: January/21/2012 at 21:55I'm sure we each have our preferences so whatsoever you really like will work. I've gravitated over the years to a 6-24x50 Millet Gilt on my Bushmaster Varminter. The steel plates at 500 meters look only like sscoyote's above (by the way... overnice shooting sscoyote). Its a lilliputian heavy but it shoots. I have it on 6x all the time as I call or hunt and then I can acquire them fast, but volition move it up to as far as 24x if I see them out in that location looking and around and I don't think I can get closer. With a skillful rest I feel confident of hitting the them in the caput at 500 yards but rarely shoot at one beyond 300 yards with the .223.
I shoot 50g Vmaxs at 3450 fps so I limit my range to about 400 yards because those things deadening down similar pepper in the wind and I don't like crippling coyotes. I do shoot 75g Hornadys very accurately out to 600 yards. They have plenty energy to impale coyotes dead at that range simply they are likewise ho-hum for me @2800 fps for every twenty-four hour period coyote hunting. When the coyotes are 200 yards and running I take to lead them also much with those bullets. I have transitioned to speed and think I volition stay with that. I used to chase them with a 3-9x40 just didn't feel besides comfy hit one between the optics beyond 300 yards. The cross hair covered their whole face or more than and at times I couldn't see them in the brush.
I use the aforementioned magnification on my longer range coyote rifle; a 25-06 Sendero with a 4200 Elite. It taps them simply fine out to 600 yards real well and that rifle has plenty of energy to plant them at that range. The only deviation is that I use an illuminated reticle on that ane so I tin hunt at night.

If money is tight and you need an illuminated reticle than I would go Bushnell trophy and SWFA Southward.A.50.T
