Hey guys, it has been a while for me but I am back for more good advice.  thanks in advance as always.  I am going to have an ar in 223 made up for target, yote, pd, etc.  you get the picture.  it will be a nice tackdriver and i am wanting advice on what to put on top of it.  i would like to be able to hit pd or coyote or targets at extended ranges.  i am thinking of the leupy 6.5-20 with the varmint reticle or the zeiss divari 6-24 with the varmint reticle.  does anyone have any experience with either or these or better yet even more suggestions.  also i believe at one time on here i found a comparison of values for scopes that took into account clarity, price, cs, etc can someone direct me to that again.  thanks again.

In those two scopes, even though I am reluctant to purchase "foreign" products, I would go with the Diavari.  I haven't owned a Leupy (have friends who have them, just not impressive to me for the price) in quite a while, but I am certain of the Diavari quality.  My eyes see a difference and it is well in favor of the Diavari.

6x on the low end has proven itself to be to high a power for yotes for me. A 2.5-10 or if you do want to go higher a 4.5-14 If you want a high end scope go with the Swarovski Z6 3-18X 50 That will give you the power and the wide field of view fo the close fast shots.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

ditto on 3-tens opinion,unless your dogs are always far away 2.5 or 3 power would be much better choice and you still have lots of options as far higher magnifications.
