Bowhunter,

I know you're a bowhunter, but a coyote on 9X (full power) at 600 yards will look like a pea in the scope.

A lot of predator rigs have 24X scopes, better for varmint shooting also.

The Bushnell 4200 Elites are on sale, being discontinued. You should be able to pick up one for about $200. Best deal on a great scope you will find anywhere. Comparable to a scope twice the price.

Dunno if they have what you're looking for but Sportsmans Guide are having an optics sale right now. Might be some deals.
