ole spark
i very much agree with you, leupolds 4.5-14x40 vxIII thats mounted on my 2506 has been the best all around scope ive ever had the pleasure of owning. actualy is the best scoper ive owned.
a 3-9 leo with standerd duplex reticls will cover a good sized rock chucks boddy at 400ys. pretty much leavs you to guesn,
last year the 2506 took quite a few chucks with the 14 power. power was abourt perfect but still coverd a very good portion of the chuck at around 400.
ground squrels are big if they weigh 2lbs. you myswell forget it if you only have 9 power glass and there outhere between 250 yds and farther.
tweety birds at 500yds perched on a power line are also kinda tough with the 14 power ahhwell shouldnt shoot at them anyways.
this rifle will be prupose built as my heavy long range 22/250. its farily heavy rifle and the glass will match it. the ruger 22/250 that has the walnut stock will be my walk around 22/250 and will have the oprtiat glss. 3-9 or posibbly 6-18 or a new 4.5-14. glass on this rifle isnt near as critical because alot of difrent power combos will work for me.
also my winter time yote hunting is spent in bitter cold, couple feet of snow on the ground and temps below 30 alot of times.
most every yote ive ever shot has been with the scopes on full power and wanting more., id say 60 percent of the year is spent hunting in the colder conditions. temps under 65 deg
