I have a Burris XTR II - 3-15 x 50 on my Tikka Lite 22-250 and it's good out to 800 yds. for predators and such.

Are you wanting to dial or just use holdover? I've become a big fan of the Trijicon Credo HX line. Good balance of pretty decent glass, usable reticle without being cluttered, solid dialing system and at a lower price point than similar NFs or Swaros.

What are you going to be shooting with it and at what range?

Shooting coyotes, probably 80% of your shots will be under 200 yards, some at 50.
If you sight in about 2" high at 100, you will be "just" hold on target, and you're in the kill zone out over 300 yards. I use a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm Riflescope $299
On mine. It's light and fast, no thinking. When I sit in tight cover, it's on 3, and when I'm out in the open, it's on 5. You will have plenty of time to crank it up if needed. Everything else on a scope is just added weight and clutter in the reticle.
That's my take on it.

WOW, how many coyotes do you shoot at 800 yards, that's a half mile, and maybe on someone else's land???

For almost 40 years I've had a 10x40 Weaver on my .22-250. Last month I replaced it with a Leupold VX Freedom 4-12x40 CDS scope. So far I've only zeroed it at 100 yds and haven't dialed it in on any longer yardages.

Interesting that you would accuse him of hunter trespass. FWIW,,, I can shoot 1/2 mile and still be within my boundaries , that is IF I could shoot at 1/2 mile with hope of hitting anything.

LOL, my bad grammar, I don't try to shoot anything that far, it's just sighted in on steel at that distance from the range.
