Looking for suggestions for a scope, will be used to 400 yards or so on coyote and deer in the 200 yard range and under.
Looking around there doesn't seem to be much under a short ton in weight, but perhaps size (length) is a bigger issue on an 18" rifle.
Curious on suggestions

We used a Redfield 2-7x32 on my daughter's Ruger American Compact 223. Worked great for deer and targets to 200 yds. It seemed a good fit for the rifle as far a size and balance.

Now with even more aplomb

I'm not asking about discontinued scopes. An Edsel may be the best car to got to work in, but you can't find one readily.

A smallish variable with a 7x-8x top power, 32-33mm.
If the strait 6x with 36mm objective were still available that would be a decent fit but a fuzz to much size for tastes.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Daughter had one for her first rifle and it wore a Minox Z3 3-9X40 and I thought it looked fine. I still have several of that scope mostly on 17 HMRs. Regardless, I think that general size is fine. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4qBIce2.jpg)

Although the Redfields turn up in the classifieds here often enough.
