Hey all...

I have been poking around this forum for a while and I have found you guys to have great opinions, often submitted with terrific candor and sound reasoning.

So here it goes.

Recently got an RRA Varmint 24" w/EOP upper.

Going to be using it mainly on prairie dogs in the dakotas...at least that will be its first outting. In the future I would be interested in coyote and such.

Looking for suggestions on scopes.

I am willing to consider spending equal to what I spent on the rifle...around 1200...that is not to say that I need to spend that much...

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

That right there would be my first choice for a dogging scope!!  I have one on my 300 WM and if I didn't have my 22-250 outfitted for yote hunting (which I like the 3-12 range for), it would get one of these for doggin.
