The expertise on the forum was a big help to me last year in figuring out how to best rid my pond of muskrats with my new Ruger 223. I was successful in using a Leupold VX 4 3-9 Var power scope on the 223.
I love the scope but my eyes aren't what they used to be and I am thinking about buying a more powerful magnification scope. The question I have for anyone interested in helping me out is what scope and what magnification , recticle etc.
My target is moving, a swimming muskrat. I need to make head shots that are around 2"x4" at distances from 130 - 190 yds. I am shooting from an elevated deck about 20 ft high so I have a good sight picture.
Also based on many concerns from last year the shooting is safe because of the background of the pond and the varmint loads I use.
What would be the right quality scope for my need?
