What're you guys running for glass on your coyote rigs?

[Ranger Dave]

3-9 works well but I like a bit more because I target shoot a lot with the rifle.

Yeah, I was popping 400 yard gophers with my 3-9 VXII LR Duplex on my XR-100, but I agree, a little more would've been great.

My 17 Fireball Rem700 has a Burris 4-12x44 with the built in laser rangefinder (from before they made the eliminator series) and it works great.
My 223 Rem700 has a Trijicon 5-20x50 which is also a nice piece of glass for field work (reticle is a little heavy for precision work).

This is the 223, the scope has been changed out since this pic

If that's at 100 yards, impressive.

I've got a heavy barrelled .204 I wanna throw a scope on for coyotes (mostly) as well as gophers up to 600 yards. Just curious what you guys would recommend. I was thinking a Sightron 6-24x50???

Great scope but I feel too much mag at the low end for called in shots

My choice would be the STAC 2.5x17.5-56 - great low light performance too

Thanks Jerry,

I was gonna call you for the Sightron. Do you carry the S-TAC? I'll check your site...

 

[Mystic Precision]

I carry all Sightron scopes...Sorry, website is way out of date.

I just got back from the range testing a new Rem with the STAC mentioned. Very nice scope for short to mid range precision shooting.

Work great for LR hunting too

Would it not be an absolute b*tch to get a good cheek weld with a 56mm scope?what height rings would you need for such an animal?

 

[Mystic Precision]

No, but I am 6ft tall. I prefer a slightly taller scope height as I am an eye glass wearer as well.

With a standard sporter hunting stock, the STAC is currently in Burris Sig ZEE xtra high rings. There is plenty of room above the barrel so it is a bit tall.

I would think a High or Med would still clear and be more inline with what users are familiar with.... depends on the thickness of your base. The current bases are very thin but the 20 MOA EGW base coming will be thicker so will likely switch to Meds.

Remember that this is a sporter contour barrel so the scope can be mounted lower without hitting the barrel. Works very nicely... this scope was designed for the Euro market and hunting at night so it was proportioned very nicely to fit on hunting rifles.

I think I would be s o l on that big of an objective.the light gathering potential is intriguing but I once shouldered an old BRNO with a 56mm S&B on it and no way could I have shot it with out a riser.

 

[Tac Man]

Burris Fullfield II Tactical 6.5 - 24 x 50 mm. It's a little old like me ..... but it works!

 

[Why not?]

Mine wears an old Leupold 2-7X28. Just plain works...........even at 600 yd.

Bushnell 6500, 2.5-16x.

 

[Collint2005]

Bushnell 4200 6-24 power
Clear with good light but a bit large and heavy. Fairly reasonable on the ee. I got one and then I got one for dad.
