one more vote for the leupold vxII, 3-9x40 or 4-12x40, especially with a fine duplex. They deliver plenty of light for dawn/dusk shots, generous eye relief and pretty solid. I've got 2 of each and happy with all 4. The Nikon 6-18x40 buckmasters are fine for squeeks with plenty of daylight but very big & not wonderful in very low light, plus the damn reticle is so coarse on the BDC. I've also got two of these.I don't know much about other brands, besides Burris. If you look into burris, stick with the signature select - their very nice. Once upon a time I topped my first rifle with a bushnell baner 4-12x40. It seemed fine, until I went coyote calling one evening. Around last light, my scope blacked out. No matter how I strained or cocked my head, I couldn't see through the scope. It just didn't gather enough light. When we got back to the truck after dark, my buddy let me peep through his leupold vxII 3-9x40, and I could still see easily through the scope. On our next hunt, the banner was replaced by a VXII....

........ I don't understand why some don't like the AO feature. You don't have to change the focus all of the time. You change the focus when you need to. Try changing the focus on an animal when it is close-up and you don't have an AO scope.........

Non adjustable objective scopes are always in focus so you never have to mess with them in the field. If your sight picture is out of focus on a close target with a standard scope it's because you're useing to much magnification. No adjustable objective can make up for that. The first time I had a dog bolt off while I was trying to adjust my scope was also the last time. No more AOs on hunting rigs.

Primarily for yotes @ >200 yds. (You have this in the title)and then say most shots would not exceed 150-200 yards.I think you wanted this sign.............Primarily for yotes @ <200 yds.<<<<<<<
