Give a nikon buckmaster 4.5-14 X40mm. Great scopes at a great price.

I am in the process of selling lots of unused shooting stuff I have laying around, and I will be buying a pair of Leupold VXIII 6.5-20 scopes. They have the varmint hunters recticle, 30 mm tube, and side focus.

I have an old BSA Contender 8-32x50 on my 22-250. It has been on there for more than 7 years & I cannot complain about its performance, especially for the price. It has survived two trips to Wyoming & is still working great.
I am at a point where I can afford better optics for my rifles now & I have been looking at Burris scopes. I like the resolution & the options that are offered. I have purchased 3 Burris scopes over the last year & I am looking at the 4.5-14 tactical 30 for my AR. I think that is a good magnification range for coyote hunting with that rifle.
When I replace the scope on my 22-250 I have been looking at the signature series 8-32x40 with mil-dot & target knobs.

I own a Weatherby 22/250 SVM and I have a Leupold 8.5X25-50MM scope mounted on the rifle. The scope has a 30mm main tube with AO on the side. It is a bright clear scope and allows me to see small targets at 300yards plus. I have the fine target recticles which allows me to see my target very clearly. I think you would like this set up. As far as the B&C reticles go, I did not go that rout. I like to guess my kentucky windage, and I know what my bullets are doing at all ranges, so I just dial in my shots.

Hay man, I have exactly the same rifle\ cal combo for shooting varmints here in New Zealand, I ended up importing a scope from over there, I got a Leupold vx111 6.5-20x50 in the varmint recital sitting on warne rings a base, its a beast man, do get the gun glass bedded and well floated properly, and a trigger job, makes a huge difference,also a good bi-pod.
