Help picking scope for coyote rig

[specter29]

Need help picking new scope for my 223 bolt. I currently have a 3-12 bushnell tactical but doing more shooting at dusk and it is not cutting it. I need recommendations on a good low light scope most shots are within 300 yards.

Depends how much scratch you want to blow.. Theres a diavari 3-12x56 my buddy has in the classifieds with an illum dot reticle that could be one of the best low light scopes on the planet! The vx-5hd 3-15x56 or a leica with the 4a reticle would work well too. Theres lots of nice stuff out there

have you consider trying anything from NF ? nxs 5.5 22x50 perhaps.

 

[Smokepoles]

anything in the mid to higher end stuff with big glass up front should be plenty good for that. I literally just spent an hour in the dark with some binos and leup, leica, zeiss, nightforce scopes comparing low light capabilities.. id give that diavari a hard look, hopefully youll save me from buying it! The leup HD scopes are really nice for the dollar spent too. Good Luck

I've got a NXS in 3.5-15 on mine and it works great. I'll admit though that I sometimes consider selling it and putting a 2.5-10 NXS on it just so I can have a wider field of view. The only time I've ever used 15x on that rig is when I'm shooting paper. Plus I'm pretty sure the 2.5-10x42 I'm pretty sure has digillum which means green or red illumination and I prefer the green. Other NXS models are red only.

Leupolds are great at dusk. With my mark 4 I could clearly see my 200 yd target on a full moon night. The vx3i have the same glass. I would recommend a leupold.
