If you hunting out of blind or stand I'd either would work. If your tracking or still hunting I'd have gone with something with a lot more FOV on the bottom end. The VX-3 1.5-5 is a great scope, my nephew has one on his 242 for coyotes and deer in UT. I use a number of 1-4's on my combo guns and 300 yards on a coyote is more than doable. My real favorite is the 1.5-6x40, I have a half dozen by various manufactures on my coyote guns BA and AR's.
Around here mostly stand hunting. I don’t have near as much land to roam as I use too,
What make 1.5-6x40 do you use?
