BEST VARMINT SCOPE
I have a 22-250 and plan to shoot 300 yards max and shoot yotes, beaver,bobcats, fox and a few deer. I plan on using for hunting and not competion target shooting.I don't want to spend more than $200- $300. What's the best variable power scope for the money? Indicate Brand-Model- and information e.g. 4X14#-42mm. Give me your experiences as well on scopes.

SWFA has the NikonMonarch 4 X 12 X 40with the BDC reticle, and adjustable objective on sale for $285. I bought one yesterday for a 10-22 Ruger. I can think of alot of better scopes, but none under $300. Tom.

Nikon Monarch UCC 3-9x40
or
Leupold VX-II 3-9x40
If you ever do any night hunting for predators, you will appreciate the 3x on the low end. 9x on the high end is more than enough zoom to make clean kills on coyotes at 300 yards. Both companies make very solid products, and you cannot buy better glass for $300.

RE: BEST VARMINT SCOPE
You may want to check out the Mueller brand scopes. I have talked with several hunters that use the illuminated dot scopes for night hunting predators. I don't have one but will be ordering one in the next week or so. My second choice is a Bushnell elite 3200 4-15X40 with the firefly recticle. The thick crosshairs will help in low light or night calling.
