Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints (Re) Scoping Predator rifle

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.

Ok. So go to Europtic's site and buy a 1:8 22-250.

Problem solved!

1:9

Look at Brownings. They have some 22-250's with a 1:9 twist.

Your scope is not the problem. You have a varmint rifle/scope setup and not a coyote setup.

I would be more concerned about 6x low end as I have had coyotes get close and not able to find them at 6x (I had a 6x at that time)

I have run Leupold 2.5-8x36 and 3.5-10x40 on my coyote rifles which are a Kimber 84M Varmint 22-250 which is cerecoted and bedded in a Wildcat fibreglass stock. 55gr VMax driven about 3700. Sighted in about 2" high at a hundred. Gave a coyote about 4" of elevation above its back and killed him with a low chest shot. The scope was set on 4or5 power. Other rifle was a model 7 Predator in 17Fireball.

You carry a coyote rifle way more than you shoot it. I am currently building a 17 Remington on a 84M Montana. It will be my secondary coyote rifle.

I found the difference between the 22-250 and my previous 223 to be marked. Now the VMax is superior to the the bullets I had in the 223.

I would get a sporter weight 22-250 or 22Creedmoor in a fast twist (or not), put a scope with no higher than about 4 on the low end. You decide whether 12, 14, 16 on the high end. I would forget dialing, as I think the coyote can move positions faster than most people can dial. I've been watching big Al Morris of FoxPro use his Nightforce. I don't think i miss anymore than he does and i don't dial. Sometimes less is more.

I should’ve been more clear that I don’t plan to dial shots on Coyotes unless there’s one sitting still long enough to do it. I agree that the gun is better as a Prairie Dog gun but I need to make it work for both for the time being.

It’s very open country so finding them in the scope isn’t much of a worry.

I appreciate the responses.

Burris 4.5-14 in either the Fullfield II or the E1 flavor.

4.5-14x40 of some flavor will do the trick.

I know you've already addressed this, but I want to reiterate it simply because it gives you a viable excuse to buy another rifle/scope combo!

A 3x9,3.5x10 or a straight 6x would be my choices.

why don't you shoot it as is on 10x (or whatever power you like to use) at a 400 yard target and see how low it is.

You could either learn the holdover or you could try some of your different holdover marks and see which ones get you close to on at that distance

A SS 3x9 would work good for you. Call with it on 6x most of the time and when a coyote holds up at distance either use your mil quad reticle for hold over and wind, or dial for elevation and hold for wind. Your choice. I kill a lot of coyote s that hang up between 400 and 500 yds.

Yes, I just have to sell it. I might need a year to build up to it though. I really want a .220 Swift. How about a .22 CHeetah MK II?

Maybe a .243 AI or 6 Creed. 🤔🤔

Get the .220 Swift and go kill coyotes.

Vortex came out with a 1-10 for SHOT. Sounds perfect.

There have been several good suggestions so far. There is an easier remedy in light of the fact you have a BDC reticle. You often read people's assertion that a BDC reticle is only good for being set at one power. That is a misunderstood half-truth. The BDC reticle can be used at any power setting. It's just that the corresponding ranges of bullet impact are different at every power setting. Get the proper ballistic information for two different power settings and you've solved your problem. Run your information through a ballistic program which has your reticle and you will see the different yardages for points of impact at different power settings.

The major, and I mean major drawback of my above-mentioned solution is a precludes the need to purchase another rifle/scope setup. We don't always NEED an excuse to buy; but, it's nice to have one.

Following this advice has worked well for me. That is the most useful and reliable scope I have ever owned.

Big sky country Nailed it,Vortex site tells you how to use their BDC , easy peasy .

Takem: Answer = Leupold 4.5x14 with A/O and fine Du-Plex!
Enjoy.

I put together a 22-250AI using a T&L action, Douglas 1-12 Jewel trigger and topped it with a Nightforce 2.5x10 with MOAR reticle and it is working out nicely.
I mainly use it for shooting coyotes the are being pursued by dogs. The dogs are beagles so the coyotes don't have to move very fast to stay ahead but they rarely stop
so most of the shots are in motion, the MOAR combined with the velocity of the 55G VMAX really helps with getting the lead and then the elevation if I miss and they
switch to high gear. Take em if you want a swift I have a Barrel brass and dies I can set you up.

Somewhere near a 4.5-14 is where I’d be, quality & clear is nice. I don’t care for ‘busy’ reticles.

My partner took a guy coyote hunting a few years back. He showed up with his higher magnified, scoped, 22-250. When the coyote surprised him at 30 yards he didn’t have a chance, thick cover.

We usually have semi-auto shotguns with ‘T’ shot, plug removed.

I see you hunt in open areas. When I do, a scoped 243 is my choice.

I bought. Diamondback Tactical 4-12x40. It has the VMR1 MOA reticle. Even I can figure that on 6x 1 MOA dots are 2. This will also allow for easier dialing on p dogs with the tactical turrets.

Still want a faster .22 but smart money would be a factory
9 Twist .22-250 (Bergara) and punch it to AI to beat the Swift. Wouldn’t have the nolstalgia of a Swift though.

I second 4.5-14 leupold fine cross hair

If you really want a dial get it with cds

Fascinating Dumbfhuqkery. Hint. Congratulations?!?

I shoot every chambering cited and more than a bunch that ain't. The projectile selection is HILARIOUS,as is the scope "advise" from The Droolers. Hint. Laughing!

If/when forced to suffer Retard RPM on a .378" boltface,the 50'Max is tough to whoop and upon the platform cited,3500fps is a breeze. A 6x MQ will connect all dots and then some,while getting POA/POI aligned from the muzzle,to the Transonic Slip,by simply looking through the fhuqking thing. I'm at ease with a Utilitarian 200yd zero and a 10x will smoke you hard. Hint. Read that again. now one more time. Re-Hint.





All things Reupold are a fhuqking joke,starting with the HILARITY of CDS and boiling down to dismal zero retention and "tracking". That not even counting the SFP Goat Fhuqk and schit Reticles. 4.5-14X's are especially fhuqking JUNK. Hint. Laughing!



Though in fairness,the 4.5-14x 30mm Reupolds are handy for sumptin'. Hint. LAUGHING!




Of course the 6X MQ do thangs,that Reupold cain't,which is retain zero,track and subtend. Hint. LAUGHING!






1000 Words on the ilk. Hint.





You CLUELESS Fhuqks are a hoot!

Bless your hearts for tryiung though.

Hint.

LAUGHING!.................

For starters I know nothing about varmint hunting. IMO this is a good set up for all around hunting and shooting.

When things are happening fast I'm a big believer in KISS. The most important thing is to know your rifle and where it shoots. I site dead on at 200 yds, and when the shot is far I use the second crosshair, when it's really far use the third crosshair. It's nice to be able to range, focus and calculate, but that will cost you a lot of opportunities for a shot.

True Schit,

You "know" nothing,about fhuqking ANYTHING and your Retardation is simply fhuqking MAGNIFICENT in it's grandeur...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

An archaeic reticle,that is non-lineal in subtension by literal "design",coupled with a SFP "view" and an erector that cain't bridge said gaps,is THE very definition of a Goat Fhuqk. Read that again. Now one more time. HINT. LAUGHING!

I especially enjoyed "site","far" and "really far"...almost as much as "range","focus" and "calculate",you Amazingly Stupid CLUELESS Fhuqk. Hint. LAUGHING!

Hardly "daunting" to shoot an etched lineal reticle,aboard a platform that retains zero and tracks in accords to same,as per whim. You know,all the things Reupold CAN'T "do". Hint. LAUGHING!

I hear through The Grapevine,that one can slam DOPE in an Ocular,so it too stares one in the face,to RAPIDLY contend distance,atmospherics and victim movement. Hint. LAUGHING!





Do tell which Dog Schit Rifle,you've got The Goat Fhuqk Glass mounted upon and muse it's Chambering and Fodder,just to take your STUPIDITY to the next level. Dare ya'...because I ASSURE you it will be funnier than fhuqk,if you TRY. You can't even site(note the difference) the subtension of a given magnificiation,at a given range. Hint. LAUGHING!

You Drooling Fhuqktards never disappoint,by simply doing your BEST. HINT.

Bless your heart,for being in soooooooo far above your pointy head,that you've less than ZERO inkling. gals who "know" and "do" as "much" as you,will always be best served by asking questions,rather than trying to give "answers".

HINT.


Fhuqking Reupold!!!!






Laughing!

Wow +P+++!!!!.........................

far, and really far are different in GA, than anywhere else.....

Very true, 400 is very far and 500 is the maximum that I would ever attempt a shot on game.

Just what the internet needs another bald headed blabber mouth, must be from New York City.

A man's got to know his limitations......

'22,

Was purty far,this AM. Hint.(grin)



Then closed in,to not very far.



Rather far came a wee bit later.



Saving crazy far for last.



'Twere a nice atmosphere to see trace/impact and dabble subtension more than a smidge,into distant Zipcodes.

Hint.

Laughing!................




Truly Schit,

Now what were the "odds",that besides being an Absolute CLUELESS Fhuqk,that you are also a Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit...you "lucky" kchunt? Hint. Congratulations?!?

You are talking out your ass,about things you've never see,let alone done and are HILARIOUSLY Light Years in over your pointy fhuqking head. Read that again. Now one more time. Hint. LAUGHING!

The ONLY fhuqking thing you "shoot",is your mouth and Imagination. Hint. LAUGHING!

Bless your heart for Lying,Crying and Whining...as that is THE Window Licking Trifecta!

Hint.

LAUGHING!....................

Always heard a rifle is only as good as the scope. And since none of those rifles have Leopold scopes on them my guess is mommy must of bought the rifles to keep her baby out of trouble.

Truly Schit,

You be sure to use your Butterfly Net,to capture more of your Delusions,but you'll haveta' pardon my shooting as you DREAM...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

In fairness,I've not seen more than (3) NIB Reupolds puke on a single outing. Hint. LAUGHING!




Their Spotting Scopes are killer too! Hint. LAUGHING!







The only thing you "shoot",is your mouth and Imagination,you Amazingly STUPID Fhuqk. Hint. Laughing!

Bless your heart for Lying,Crying and Whining.

Hint.

LAUGHING!.................

Just more proof that it's hard to fix stupid.

Truly Schit,

Don't be so hard on yourself,as your STUPIDITY is/was no "secret" and only a "surprise" to you...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

You were stating earlier,how a SFP Brokedick Reupold with CDS,was farrrrrrrr too "technical" for you,as you are unable to substantiate subtension requisites,through out it's zoom range. Also fhuqking HILARIOUS,that you were/are afraid to cite said Goat Fhuqk Rifle Platform's particulars,as if even someone as AMAZINGLY Fhuqking Stupid as you,KNOWS better than to even "try". I "wonder" why?!? Hint. LAUGHING!

Do tell,what sorta platforms your Imagination and Pretend find such thangs "suited" to,as per your HILARIOUS version(s) of "knowledge","experience" and "results". Hint. LAUGHING!

Rimfires perhaps? Hint. LAUGHING!





Few things funnier,than a CLUELESS Whining [bleep],that just "happens" to be a Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit to boot,talking out her ass. You are doing "GREAT"! Hint. Laughing!

Oh my,what were the "odds" that The Lying Kchunt changed her reply?!? Hint.

LAUGHING!!!



For starters..."280" isn't a caliber. Hint. LAUGHING!

I'm fairly certain 90's are lighter than 105's,while having a vastly superior BC and a greater muzle velocity,which equates to flatter trajectories,less wind drift and higher impact velocities,amongst other Factoids. Hint. LAUGHING!

There's no such thing as a "VDL" in any bore size. Nor is there a .243" 105,that can keep pace with a .224" 90gr Beer Can,let alone "eat it's lunch". Hint. LAUGHING!

I don't "think" you are an AMAZINGLY Stupid Fhuqk,I KNOW you are and those differences are stark...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

You are a typical Pavement Pounding Whiner,who's read a magazine or two in her version of "life" and "thinks" she has a clue,which couldn't be further from the Truth. The only thing you "shot" are your mouth and Imagination,though you've an incredibly long list of very WELL founded Insecurities,to "compliment" your Mind Numbing STUPIDITY. Hint. Laughing!

Bless your heart,for "thinking" otherwise,you Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit.

As an aside,you were talking how 280 is your favorite "caliber",DO "expound",mainly because it will be funnier than fhuqk if you try.

Hint.

LAUGHING!...............

I'm better in person and you'd simply nod your head in agreement,as your Drooling Dumbfhuqktitude was illuminated in the flesh,because it could go no other way...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

It's your Imagination however,be sure to Pretend with it as you MUST and the last thing I'd wanna do is take that from you,if only because it's ALL that you "have" and that'd be mean. Hint. LAUGHING!

LAUGHING!..................

Your right, but even a dumbass knew what I meant. What is the proper name of the caliber, 7mm Express or 280 Rem?

Truly Schit,

Don't be so hard on yourself,in fairness you are actually a MUCH Dumber Fhuqk than you realize and by a margin you cannot even begin to fhuqking fathom the magnitude of...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

The caliber is ".284",which is a boresize,if only obviously(to everyone but you). 7mm Express is a cartridge chambering and 280 might be too,depending upon what your Retardation is trying to align. In no particular order,there is 280 Rimless Ross,280 Rimless Jeff',280 Flanged NE and 280 Rem...of course not counting Wildcats. Hint. LAUGHING!

Now you be sure to "brazenly" poke a oar in the water,pinpoint your Dumbfhuqktitude and I'll happily rub your nose in your STUPIDITY and make it look easy,mainly because it is(for me). Mebbe dangle a pic,for MAXIMUM Fhuqking Hilarity?!? Muse receiver/stock/trigger particulars,take a stab at RPM,Freebore and COAL,then HILARIOUSLY jaunt towards bases/rings/glass,if only to save the best JOKE for last. Then say sumptin' about boolits.

I gotta go Castin' & Blastin',while you TRY to summons the courage requisite,to grab slack on the rope and TRY yet again. Hint. LAUGHING!

Bless your heart for Lying,Crying and Whining,you MAGNIFICENTLY Whining Clueless Fhuqk.

Laughing!...............

My barrel has 280 Rem engraved on it. You'd have to be a real dumbass to go into the hardware store and ask for a box of 284 ammo and think you'd end up with a box of 280 Remington ammo. KISS is for normal people, but some folks just like kissing azz more, enjoy yourself. Just like the scope the OP was inquiring about KISS, normal people don't have yellow tape and little yellow books with them when they go hunting. But most are smart enough to know all you need is a Leupold range finder and Leupold BC scope to hit anything within 500 yds.

Feed the fuqking trolls and they keep coming back.

Truly Schit,

There is NO need to reiterate your fhuqking STUPIDITY,as it is beyond OBVIOUS...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Joe Average sure in the fhuqk,is not anywhere near "bright",as you eloquently attest,on accident. Hint. LAUGHING!

Do tell about "your" 280 Remington chambered rifle and the ammo you buy for it,which swoons you in sucha manner. Do tell about the mounting system and glass,if only to go FULL Retard. Hint. LAUGHING!

I don't shoot "much" in the .284" bore size,especially in S/A. Hint.

Or in L/A either. Hint. LAUGHING!




Pardon a "Rite In The Rain" whipping your ass in such GLORIOUS fashion,but they've loonngggggg been a Skookum means of collecting DOPE,so it can be affixed the rifle proper.

LAUGHING!....................

Stick, you pick - one bushy or three super chickens?
Didn't expect you to drop the old FFers.

Crab,

The FF is superior for Utility,though I only have 80 or so of 'em.(grin)

As Variables go,the Bushy(s) do some nice thangs. I don't care for the G2 reticle,but the G3 and especially in LRTSi(Illuminated),is rather good. Tough to get pissed at the locking windage turret and/or the elevation's OEM mechanical zero stop. Hint.

I prefer rear parallax,if only because it isn't obtrusive,or able to be moved unwanted. The FF erectors CRUSH the Bushy,in total travel,but they crush everything. Hint.(grin)

Bushy Illumination,is better than SWFA's 5-20X's lighting. I prefer the 3-12x zoom range and largely disfavor the 4.5-18x Bushys,mainly because I got them too. Hint.

It is funnier than fhuqk,to hear a CLUELESS Fhuqk "extoll" Reupold B&C Reticle "virtues",if only because there are NONE. Same goes the Reupold BDC/CDS Goat Fhuqks. THE key to POA/POI intersections,are an erector and reticle that speak the same angular lineal measurement language. Reupold botches that fhuqking HORRIBLY. Hint.

So coming full circle,the Bushy '12x LRTSi do connect alotta Variable dots and crushes all things Reupold and most everything NightFarce. In current pricing structure,they bring alotta Bang for the Buck,if one loses a bet and hasta' go Variable. I bought more than a few,just for Giggles and due the fact,that I've more than one rifle and it's often intellesting to extrapolate different glass,upon like platforms. Case in point,the SWFA 3-9x MQ,as I cain't suffer it. Too fickle,no parallax and slower to press into service. Hint.

For a Utility Rifle at a 1:1 ratio,I want the 6x MQ...mainly because I shoot it all and then some.

Hint.............(grin)

the retard is off his meds again he will be licking windows soon

this...I have shot both with same gun

Hey little buddy, I hope you are well. One suggestion. Have the guy who narrated this video do your typing for you. He is understandable. Be well.

1-4x Leupold would be great.

After 6 pages of blabber the suggestion of a 1-4x20mm isn't bad, The FOV is large and staying on a running coyote pretty easy and enough room to spot an opening ahead of him for a shot. Have one pop up at your shoelaces and he's a dead dog 300 yards on 4x is still a chip shot. Feel like your limiting yourself with a 1-4, 2-10x40 0r 2.5-10x40 with a BDC will get you to 400 with ease. I find a scope with a minimum of a 40' FOV on the bottom end to be a pretty good predator hunting scope for most situations. Keep it on the bottom power and largest FOV for those coyotes that just seem to appear out of nowhere and if they are out aways you can turn the scope up. Rule of thumb " There is always time to turn a scope up, never time to turn it down".

Most of my coyote hunting rifles wear 1.5-6x40mm scopes, my combo guns 1-4x20mm, I do have a couple that have 2.5-8/10's on them but rarely take them out.

1.5-6x40mm Burris


1.5-6x40mm Meopta


1-4x20mm on combo gun


2.5-8x?mm old Baush & Lomb


Out to 400 yards shooting heavies out of a fast twist 22-250/220 Swift isn't going to give you any advantage, a 50gr NBT out of a 22-250 at 400 is deadly on coyotes and very flat shooting.

I agree a 50 with the gas pedal floored is not a bad way to go with either the 22-250 or the Swift.

I like a straight 6X on my calling rifles. Some form of BDC or mildot reticle.

Can we talk about the Van Van now?

You can have your straight six on a calling gun, I think they suck donkey balls.....

For a 223, I'd opt for the MSR personally and take advantage of the ballistic plex reticle that is more calibrated towards the 223 rem cartridge. This would help in just pointing and shooting where you may not have as much time to dial on a leery yote.... Generally when I'm shooting yotes and calling them in, they come in close.


Burris also used to offer a free turret with these and the AR556/762 4.5-14x42 rifle scopes.


I personally wouldn't use a fixed 10x on a predator rifle...

Thank you.

I'll follow it over there.

My box is always full.

I'm fine with that.

They served me well.

I'm running a 3-9X Burris Timberline Ball. Plex reticle on a 9T 223 AI AR, and love it. Have taken a number of coyotes right around the 500-yd. range with it over the years.
