I've been hunting coyotes for over 30 years and have tried almost every combination of 20-22 cal. rifles and scopes. I see most people are over scoped as a low power setting is much more useful than high power. Most of my shots are under 150 yards and my scope usually stays on 3 power. Field of view is more important than magnification especially when you have a moving target coming towards you. Coyotes very rarely stand still and if they do it's not for long. Quick shots are more the norm where I hunt and trying to stay on a moving target under 100 yards with a 6 power scope isn't as easy as you may think. I run a 3-10 power scope that only gets used on 10x at the range.


I thought growing old would take longer.
