Need your feedback
Finishing up a new upper in 204 for my AR. Want some suggestions for a scope with at least 4" of eye relief. Most hunting for yote's at 100 yards or less so I am not interested in high power scope for 300 to 400 yard shots. Thanks

Re: Need your feedback
My suggestion is rather simple, Buy good glass once. It is way better than buying poor glass, and later find out that you need to replace it. I am definately a Leupold man, and a variable fan, say a 3-7 or 3-9 power x40mm. I have seen some very good pricing on the VXI and VXII lately. I would lean toward the VXII's myself, but you did not mention if you are on a budget or not.

+1 to what futuretrades said. SPOT ON
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.

Re: Need your feedback
I want to thank all of you for the advise. I am seriously shopping for the Leupold 3-9x40.

Re: Need your feedback
Bass Pro Shop has the Leupold QDM Rifleman matte black 3X9X40mm scopes on sale...I'm thinking in the $169.99 price range with a free Scope Coat ($24.99) value.I have one mounted on my CZ-USA "Varmint" .204 Rifle and it has worked fine for me since most of my shooting has been fairly close....it would be nice to have a scope that will reach out further in the larger open fields but that doesn't happen often enough where I hunt!
