Scope question???
addicted:
i had just pushed that doe out of the trees and i was laying down next to the blind he shot out of scoping her when he dropped her. hell of a shot dave.
by the way im buying that same scope for my 300 win mag before next year.
also you can get the bdc redical in other magnifications like 3x -9x
Intruder:
Since it is a 22-250 I'm assuming you're shooting varmints.... yes? If so, and by varmints you are intending to hunt ground squirrels too, I'd suggest higher powers. Got a 6-18 on my 223 for just that reason. If you're strictly talkin coyotes then the 3x9 is just dandy. Someone else stated having the adjustable parallax is advisable for higher powers... I would 2nd that.
BDCs are a personal choice. I'm not a big fan of em for big game rifles but for varmint shooting... yea maybe. I'd prefer better glass or high magnification over BDC if it was a dollars and cents choice. But again.... "whatever blows your skirt up" as they say :)
If you have the option, just look at a lot of different stuff. There a quite a few really nice scopes out there in the price range your looking at. Don't let the biggest ads on TV and the mags influence ya too much. I'm seeing more and more Millet, Sightron, and Vortex stuff at the range all the time. You don't hear alot (especially TV/Mags) about them but it seems like these are gaining in popularity in BR circles. I still really like the Bushnell 3200/4200 Elite stuff for the $. Anyway... good luck.

Again, thanks for the replies. There are so many options. I am going to keep looking until one stands out. I'm not in a big hurry.

if you are gonna be shooting over a rangefinder I might look at a scope with turrets. I think at $350 you will be just getting there. I can click targets with my lrf and a quick look at my bal map and put hits on songdogs out to a grand on calm days...all about knowing your rig.
as for bdc's being needed to pull of long shots; my 3-9 leuy, on my 270win. is sighted just light of 2" @100yds, at 450yds my bullet strikes right where my crosshairs begin to transition to the thicker area when on 9x. I can make solid hits to 600yds on 6" plates on a calm day with it just by knowing where my bullet strikes at a given power on my scope. nothing against bdc's, heck I really like the ballplex and tds but they are not as handy as a bunch of practice is.
the downer on the 22-250 is the wind, you have never seen something drift like a light 22cal in a good wind. a 6' hold is common in the winter winds at 500yds....just like playing the slice in golf.
MuleySniper:
Slinger, I got a sweet Redfield that came off one of my rifles. I'll make you a killer deal on it. Its only about 50 years old. You cant pass up this deal!
