Got this thread going on a couple of forums just trying to get a general idea.
Im looking for a scope for my Remington 700 SPS Tac. Its only a .223 but i want a scope for both coyote/ground squirrel hunting. But also for target shooting. Im not doing much right now but I want to start shooting out to 500 yards and anywhere inbetween.
Im looking at either a:
Sightron Sii 4-16
or
Nikon M-223 3-12
Both scopes have Pro's and Con's and YES, i know they arent nightforce but i can actually afford these scopes.
I know the Sightron has a higher power setting but is it really needed? Only thing im leary about with the M-223 on a hunting rig is the turrets getting turned when removing from case or walking around. But if I knew i was going to be putting it in a case couldnt i just stick a piece of masking tape on it to hold it in place?
Just looking for oppinions on both scopes
