I am a firm believer in the 3 x 9 Leupolds. If your going to call or jump shoot them carry the scope on 3x. You will need all of the field of view you can get to pick up a close or running coyote. If they hang up out there farther you can set the scope for higher power, but if their close you won`t have time to set it down. With 9x you will have a good point of aim at distances farther than a .243 will shoot flat. As far as I`m conserned the 50 mm lens just adds size and weight to the rifle. Ihave one 3 x 9 with the 50mm lens and would like to trade it for another with a 40 mm lens. I have over 30 Leupold scopes, most 3 x 9`s as they are the most versital.
