RE: Good scope for night time 'yotes???
You need a scope with lower magnification, Larger objective lens & Bigger cross hairs.
The fine crosshair scopes are perfect for long range shooting at gophers & prairie dogs.
I have 5-varmit rifles, 3-rifles are topped with 8x32x44mm scopes with fine crosshairs. The other 2-rifles have 3x9x40mm. I have never had a problem finding a coyote or my crosshairs at night with my scope set on 3-power.
good luck
