Looking at a scope for a howa 1500 classic laminate varminter 204 ruger. Im setting this up for longer range prairie dogs. 300-500 yards or so, but if i can see em ill prob take a shot at whatever range after some familiarization. Might get used occasionally for yotes, but not often as shes a pig to pack around!
Ive decided on the athlon argos btr, but cant decide on the 6-24x50 or 8-34x56. Rifle has a #6 contour bbl and pretty high monte carlo stock, and i want to keep a good cheek weld while shooting. Id like the 8-34 since its from static locations and small critters mostly, but not sure if the 56mm bell would require crazy high rings or not. What do you guys think?
