Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints help me scope this walk around varminter

Thanks John & K22. The 4200 line of scopes was far better than many gave them credit for. I have 2 left. the 1.5-6x36 pictured and a 2.5-10x40 that is waiting on just the right rifle.

Great looking rifle and scope combo. I think you’ll be pleased with the low end mag of 1.5 simply for increased F.O.V. I’ve almost missed a couple when using a setup that was 6x on the low end. When they are in close or running it’s much harder to pick them up or track them with 6x as opposed to the 1.5x. One of the best walk about predator scopes I’ve ever used is the Leupold VX3 1.5-5x20 with a German #4 reticle.

Again, very nice setup you have.

Thanks Adam.

Very nice and rare LH Sako congrats

Thank you Bella1. I was really surprised to see it sitting on a table at the Tulsa Gun Show a few years back.

Nice. Reminds me that I need to get my Sako 22-250 out. I’ve a 2.5-10 Nikon on mine.

I just put a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 on my Kimber Montana 223 and man I am impressed! I got the green mil dot reticle and need to ring it out on my steel yet but I like it.

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.
