I think after about 200 yds your ability to put presice shots goes downhill with an ACOG, especially with the Chevron reticle. I just tested out a grendel with that exact ACOG on it and while it is accurate i did want more precision. Maybe more magnification hunting hogs at those distances? Maybe the 3-9 accupoint? |

Assuming that we're still talking about coyote hunting...
The heart-lung area of a coyote is about the same size as a 1-liter soda bottle on its side. Whatever sighting method and distance you want to use ought to take that into account. They might be vermin infested and mangy, but I still don't like to watch cripples limp off to die slowly. |

Thought I would jump in here. I have an RRA with a 20" Varmint barrel (on layaway). Want to go on a P dog trip next year. Been checking out scopes...and been lurking here. Will mostly be shooting paper..and steel out to max of 300yds.....which is our range max. Then possibly check out decreasing the coyote population in my area. This is my first AR...been a shotgun/pistol guy. Two scopes on my "short" list are the SS 10x42..and the Hawke Sidewinder 30 4.5-14x42. Would like to keep the budget at $500...max. Any thoughts?

I'm having a radical rethink. Checked out an ACOG..3x30. at the "local" store. I will have to save up for it...but I think for an overall scope for my AR..and the fact that I may only shoot P dogs once a year this may be the best bang for my buck. |

Re thinking the ACOG......eye relief was sketchy. So now I am totally confused. My friends think I am "over thinking" on a choice for this rifle. Maybe they are right....(sigh).

The 1.5x compact ACOG has more eye relief but the 3x version is quite useable I have one in a La Rue RCO mount which places it at the back of the rail.

You can't pick them up if Vortex hasn't released them yet.

They found some issues that they neded to fix so they only let one order get sent out for sale. since then they have held them back and redesigned some things I believe.

Thanks SVT_Tactical, I really liked the reticle fast target acquisition with illumination but with a precession non illuminated. It looks like it will be a winner. |
