Hello,

This is my first post here on hunting net.

I have just started to get back into shooting and I am looking for a decent scope to go coyote hunting here in the southern california desert. I have a Remington 700 chambered in .243 Win.

I have two dilemmas. First, I was considering a Redfield Revolution scope in either the 3-9X50 or the 4-12X40 with the accurange reticule. I wanted to know if it would be better to get the larger objective lens for better low light shooting or if it would be better to have the extra zoom power to take shots on coyotes around 500 yds. I want to spend around $200 +/- $50 and from what I have briefly read, the Redfield line seems to be pretty good but I wouldnt mind going another direction.

Second, I may not need a new scope at all. I have a Bushnell Banner 6-18X50 Dusk and Dawn but I didnt like the idea that it has a focus adjustment on the front. It is new in the box and will sell for around $100 on eBay.

Can someone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
Matt
