I have decided to get a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 scope for my Stevens model 200 (.223) rifle. I can't decide whether to get a standard crosshair (Nikoplex) reticle or Nikon's BDC reticle. I will be using this gun for coyote hunting (sitting and calling) and wanted to know what you guys thought about the BDC reticle. Would the BDC reticle work well for this type of application (.223, still hunting/calling or would you recomend the standard crosshair reticle? I would like to know your thoughts and what you guys think. Since I will be calling I figure that a majority of my shots will fall under 100 yards. If this is the case I was think the standard crosshair (Nikoplex) reticle would work best. At a first glance the BDC reticle seems too "busy", but maybe it just one of those things that you have to get used to.

Thanks Guys.

If "all" your shots are under 100 yards you don't need a BDC reticle.



BDC reticles are for 100,200,300............yard shots.



I use Burris with a Ballistic Plex (BDC) reticle on all my rifles.
