I have a new 22-250 that is going to be primarily used for calling coyotes and prairie dog hunting, and was looking at new optics for it. I like the Weaver V16 for the price and the features. Anyone run one and how's it working for you? I am also open to other suggestions as long is they are sub $400-$500. Thanks!
Had one many years ago....same use as you've mentioned...
I always look to Vortex for my glass needs first...
Take a look at this 4-16 HS-T....resettable turrets much more useful
than the Weavers V16....Zero shim stops are a plus too...have one of
these on my 20 Vartarg..like it.....$570 @ CameralandNY

I run a V16 with ballistic plex on my AR.Ask the prairie rats if they are impressed!!!
The V-16 is a good scope; not quite as good as my 4-16X Sightron SII Big Sky, but more reasonably priced. BUT, for about the same price ($329), you can buy a 6-20X Vortex Viper with a BDC reticle from Midway-USA through July. (And please: no silly arguments from anyone claiming this would be "too much scope". You can always turn the power down; that's why it's called variable)!
I have several of them and like them. Liked them better when Natchez had them on sale for $210+/-.
The best buy that I've seen recently is the Sightron S1 4-12AO for $145+/- from Natchez.
