Bushnell 4200
« on: January 12, 2006, 04:03:33 PM »
Ok I have decided to get one of the 4200's for my Remington 700 22-250. It has a Choate Ultimate Target Stock and the trigger set at 3lbs. I am trying to decide if I should get the 4x16x50 Multi-X, 4x16x40 Multi-x, or 6x24x40 mil dot. I really don't think I need the 6x24 but like the mil dot. On the other hand I really like the 50mm also.  :?  This is my coyote gun but would also like to go shoot parrie dogs in Western Oklahoma sometime. Ok one more question. Bushnell is starting to offer a side focus parallax adjustment and I was wondering if that worth $60 dollars more? I have never used a scope with the side adjustment.
Thanks for any input

I would like the50 mm Objective lens.  But the Mil Dot is the best way to go.  Also the side paralex adjustment is well worth the extra cost.  Think about it, your on top of a hill and here come three cayotes.  When they come in getting as close as they will come, and you shoot one at fifty yards.  The rest run then stop out at three hundred yards.  Now you have to change the paralex setting.  Do you want to move the gun, or your head to make the adjustment on the front of the scope and spook the yotes?  With the side adjustment you can make this adjustment with out spooking them, or giving.  away your position.

I just read bushnells website and it says that the the 6x24 has 26in adjustment at one hundred yards, the 4x16x40 has 40in, and 4x16x50 has 50in. Wouldn't this help with the long shots? How many inches do I really need?
Thanks for the help

Tell me how you're hunting coyotes.

What is a "long" shot?
