I am adding a Remington R15 in .223 to my gun rack. I have been considering the Nikon Coyote Special. Always have been a Leupold or Zeiss fan. I have never shot wiith the BDC rings on the Nikon. I welcome all comments and suggestions.
There is no magic about scopes. Pick out what you want and what you can afford. The only rule of thumb I have is; pick a scope that costs as much as the rifle. Other than that, use iron sights.

Choose what you want, but nowadays I spend a while thinking about what distance I will be shooting at the majority of the time, and pick a magnification based on that.
Go ahead and choose your own brand and model, but I decide on a magnification range first and then decide on a couple brands, and then pick a model.

For calling I'd probably pick a 4-12x 40mm scope. I've never used any kind of reticle other than duplex or fine crosshairs, so I can't really comment on that.

Thanks fellas for the feedback. I ended up buying a Leupod Mark AR w/the BDC dial on elevation turret. Shot last weekend and was shooting very tight groups out to 200 yds. My 11 year old centered an aluminum can at 200 yds on his first shot. I used the Burris P.E.P.R. mount and it gave great eye relief. Going to to my farm in the morning to do some predator calling this weekend.
