The wife surprised me yesterday and told me she went ahead and purchased my new rifle. Rem Mod 700 SPS Varmint in .223. I was going to buy one when I get back from Iraq, but now if I can figure out which scope to buy I may be able to shoot it as soon as I get home. These next three weeks are not going to go by fast enough.

Stay safe short timer... I like Nikon glass. Currently have a Monarch 4X16-42mm on my long range AR15 with a BDC reticle. It was a steal at $340.00
-
I don't like a lot of magnification I like the Millett Designated Marksman scope. 1-4X the dot is set for ranging out to 500
-
I have been looking for a Ruger #1 for the same reason. Going back and forth between .223 and something faster (.220 Swift maybe), but cost is unfortunately going to be a factor.
Then I keep reminding myself, need a new gun cabinet first. :)

Even for a varmint rifle?

I think I have narrowed it down to either the Nikon Buckmaster or coyote special both have the BDC reticle. I have a monarch with BDC on another gun and really like that setup. I realize they are not the top of the line Nikons, but I their prices are in the range for what I can justify spending right now. I like the idea of the coyote special since it is set up for a 55 gr bullet llike I shoot.

How far do you think you are going to shoot with a .223? 500 is a plenty. If you can't hit a P-dog at 4 power, then you can't hit it with 20power.

Thank you for your service. I can put you into the Coyote Special 3x9 black for $225
4.5X14 $261
Camo finish adds $15 camo match finished rings are $35 and something called an anti refliection device is $35. Could be a little less but distributors kind of boink on shipping sometimes. All were in stock at distributor could have them in 3 days or so from order placed.
There were so many scopes marketed undeer the Buckmaster line that I could not determine which one you are interested in.

David, I wish I would have checked this before I ordered one, maybe in the market again in the near future. I am thinking about changing scopes on one of my other rifles.
I appreciate the gesture but there is really no need to thank me as I am just a lowly civilian that works for the government whose job allows to me to be able to protect those that protect us. Hell I even have to pay taxes while I am here.
Thanks
