Simple scope help

[Trapperkid]

Ok so I still have a rifle without a scope and this rifle is supposed to be my do everything rifle for now it’s 243 Winchester. It’s main prey item will be deer and some coyotes. My thing is I can’t make up my mind so here’s the criteria and what I’m looking to do. Not spend over 400 that’s absolutely stretched out budget all I want to spend. I have looked at vortex vipers and luepold vx freedom and most recently what I have been thinking about is the Meopta optika 5 3-15 or 2-10. Now my absolute farthest shot that I should ever shoot would be 350 at a coyote and that would even be a stretch for me to shoot that. So I don’t need to dial I don’t think I need ffp. I just want something that will hold zero in as many scenarios as possible with enough magnification to be able to see it and shoot it. Also low light capability is a must as I’ve been hunting and had a big buck walk out and I just wasn’t comfortable squeezing the trigger bc it was too dark. At that time I was using a Walmart Tasco 3-9 on my super cheap Remington. Now that I have a nicer rifle I want a nicer scope that I can always trust. Also I’m not interested in fixed power scopes. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to describe my situation. Thanks

I'd give Doug @CameraLandNY as call and tell him what you need and what you have to spend. he always has lots of stuff on sale and should be able to set you up

Meopta for sure.

Or buy a leupold vx3 2.5-8x36 and get after it. I have one you could buy if you'd like.
