I'm trying to pick a new scope for my 243. I have it between a Burris Fullfield, Nikon Buckmaster, or Leupold vx-II. I think I want th 4.5-14x with some sort of bullet drop compensating reticle. The price is about the same between the three. I haven't yet looked thru a Leupold yet but the Burris and Nikon side-by-side, I like the Nikon. What I'm NOT used to are the circles on the BDC. It just seems like circles would be inherently less accurate than a dash. Plus, the circles in a 4.5-14x are noticeable bigger than in a 3-9x. However, I think in low light or other less than perfect conditions the circles may show up better. For overall clarity and target acquisition I liked the Nikon, but inside of a store is not the best place to judge real world shooting situations.
The main reason I'm getting this scope is to shoot coues deer at longer ranges, though I will use it for coyotes too. So, it needs to be accurate, I want to extend my range out to at least 350 yards, maybe 400. I want to be able to hit stuff at 350 yards all the time, not just sometimes. With a standard duplex I'm only good out to 250 yards, after that I'm just holding over and hoping. Thanks for any imput.
