Re: Best coyote hunting scope for $500 or less
If you watch the classified here, you can catch a 3-9 trijicon accu-point for around $500 +/-.
For low light hunting, the dot reticles are bad ass. I've put an amber dot 3-9 on my 17 fireball and an amber #4 1-4 on my 300 blk suppressed and wouldn't change a thing. no batteries to run out and just enough light at the reticle that it stands out against a coyote or fox for a good shot.
I just picked up a 2.5-10 accupoint from another 'hider to put on my new 22-250 i had built.
Good luck with it,
Breeze
