I'm thinking about this scope for the 22 Creedmoor project.

It's going to be a coyote/p dog setup.

Ruger American 20" threaded barrel 1X8 twist, suppressed.

I'm thinking 75-gr bullets around 3400 fps.

A 300 to 400-yard shot will be about as far as my old eyes will allow.

I can get the scope for $90

I'm looking to keep the cost down as best I can.

I have a TC 22-250 22" 1x12 twist the shoots dead nuts with 62 gr and my 4x12 Redfield.

It's not threaded and can't shoot the new, heavier bullets.

What are the thoughts about the scope?

	I don't have this model but I have a few lower end Vortex scopes. They seem to work good. I have had to send back a pair of binoculars and a spotting scope to Vortex but never a scope.
	I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
