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

[Chargerguy]

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???

 

[Mr.Rigpig]

I have a 6.5-20x50 zeiss conquest on both 204s. One with varmint recticle and one with ordinary crosshairs

 

[stubblejumper]

conquest HD-5 3-15x42 on all of my coyote rifles.

 

[Mount Sweetness]

VX3 4.5-14x50

 

[nomad 68]

I have a bushnell elite 4-16×40 on my savage 10xp predator .204 and very satisfied.

 

[DMS1]

Vx-6 3-18 X 44

 

[skypilot]

On the XCR-L semi, a Vortex PST 4-16 FFP EBR 1 and a Bushnell reflex red dot on a 45 deg offset for yotes that appear within knife fighting distance.

On the 10 FCP-K bolt, a Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24.

 

[dugasgunner]

Sightron SII 4-16X40 HHR.

 

[gaetoune]

I run a Meopta ZD 6-24x56. I swap this scope around depending what gun I will be using and where I am going.

I also run Meostar R1 in 4-16x44.

Then on the 17 and 22's I have Tasco 6-24 and 2.5-10.

 

[propliner]

A VX-3 4-16x40 on my 6mm and a Burris Veracity 4-20x50 on my .204. I'd consider the Burris the perfect coyote scope if it were a bit smaller in size. Has what I consider a very useable varmint reticle and FFP, which I love.

 

[Ranger Dave]

Elite 4-16 on the Rem 700 223

 

[Pickles]

6x Leupold on a 17 Rem.

 

[retoxtony]

The ones that see the most use are a VX1 in 4-12 on my 22-250, and a Prostaff5 in 3.5-14 on a 257 Weatherby. Both work well but the Nikon seems to get fuzzy at anything over 12x. I don't feel the need for more than that anyway so it's fine for me.

 

[polskiogorki]

Bushnell elite 3200 6-24 x 40 sf mill dot.
Love it

 

[peirecce]

Burris 4.5 x 14 on an sl-8

 

[brybenn]

I have a barska 6-24x42 mil dot. Put it on when I first got the rifle and settled with it. It works. Not the brightest or clearest but my last coyote was 552 yards

 

[titch--]

Got three rifles for coyotes

204 4-16 Vortex BD
223 6-20 Vortex Viper
243 6-24 Vortex Viper HST

I think the 4-16 is just about right for coyotes with a 204. That just my opinion though

 

[langbanger]

I have a Leica 2.5-10x42 on my tikka 22-250. I was using a zeiss conquest 6.5-20, but often calling brings them in close enough I wish I could go lower than 6x. Just something to think about if calling. Also I've found that high quality glass in a lower power is much better for me than high power medium quality.

 

[Chargerguy]

Thanks for the responses. My concern was it may be a little too much scope for what I need. I am just getting back into coyote hunting. Had a VX-II 3-9x40 on my last 204 and wanted something to engage them a little further. Never really let them get close enough to have to come off 9x, so I'm hoping 6x minimum would be fine if they did get in close. I'll be doing a lot of calling and using my quivering critter out on the farm to guide them to where I want them. It worked for me in the past.

 

[desjardo]

Vortex HST LR 4-16 which will be hetting swapped with a 6.5-20 Viper right soon.
