Hey all, I am looking to replace the scope on my .223. It currently has a Vortex 6-18x44 AO on top. I like the 18x for shooting buck toothed prairie varmints but it’s too much magnification for Coyotes. I typically leave it on 10x. The rifle is zeroed at 225 yards, shooting the 60 VMAX or the 60 Horn Sp. Loads are right at 3050/3100 FPS.
The issue I’m having is the dogs are hanging up at 300-400 yards at times. 300 is OK as that’s only six inches of drop, but farther out I can’t use the BDC unless I crank it to 18x. The scope has capped turrets with zero reset but no time to dial shots by the time I take the cap off, etc. The gun is a heavy barrel Howa 1500, so weight of optic not a huge deal. I was thinking of going to an exposed turret scope as I do a lot of cranking when shooting PDogs, and I shoot a lot of them. I’m cranking ele and wind usually as the wind never quits here either.
What I’d really like to do is get a 8-9 twist .22-250, .220 Swift or even a .22 Creed so I don’t have to think so much about drop and wind to a certain range of course. Thoughts? I’ve considered punching it out to .223AI.
I was considering the Diamondback tactical 4-12x40 or SWFA fixed 10x. The Vortex will cost less obviously. I have a Leupold Vx3i CDS on my 7RM which I really like.
