Hey guys, I am putting together a gun for a prairie dog hunt and need a scope. For a budget, I am wanting to stay at or below the $500 mark. Cheaper is better, and I can also go more expensive if it is necessary. Bottom line, I want to spend what I need to spend to get the performance I need, but no more.
I am thinking I want at least 16x magnification, and maybe out to 26x, but I am open to suggestions. I am also curious as to what your thoughts are if I need zero reset turrets and what type of reticle.

The vortex viper 6.5-20x is a decent scope under $500. I had one on a 223 wssm. I popped alot of dogs and rockchucks with that setup.

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.
