I have been looking for a new scope for a new 243 that I purchased. My sole intent is to use this rifle as a secondary calling rig.
I say secondary, because my primary rig is a 22 250.
I was looking for a scope to mount on this 243 and I settled on a Leupold VX3i. The only quandary I had was what magnification to settle on.
The 2 in question was the 4x14x50 with a 30mm tube or the 6x20x50 with 30mm tube. Obviously, the 4x14 was cheaper than the 6x20.
I chose the 4x14 after much thinking. I felt as though the 14 power was enough for the long range shots that I may take. Very, very seldom to I ever shoot at a coyote at 300 yards or beyond. I felt like that If i had to take a 350 yard shot, that 14 power would be sufficient. Most of my shots are within 200 yards and less.
What do you guys feel? Should I have went with the 20x or you think 14x was enough? What do you guys like to use on your calling rig?
