Thats the exact one i had in mind but I don't know optics as well as most the people on here so I figured i'd see what others thought. Glad to hear you like that scope for what id be using it for too! Thanks!I'd seriously look at the Leupold Mk AR 4x-12x with mil-dot for this application.

Maybe I am wrong but 12 x at 600-700 yards? You can pick up a coyote target at 12 x at 600 years and have the cross hairs on a 4 inch area? Maybe I am wrong but I'd tend to think 20 x? What do you think? I would look at Vortex. I have several Leupold and Vortex and from now on I will be with Vortex.

You can reliably hit the 4 to 5 inch diameter "kill zone" on a coyote for a humane kill at 600 to 750 yards under field conditions? You're a better marksman than I am.
I do it, but with a 7mm Rem Mag that has a 4.5x14x40 on it. If you set up with a bipod, its doable if you are capable. I'm not advocating buying an off the rack rifle and scope combo and lobbing corelokts though.
600-700 yards for target shooting with a 224V is right in the wheel house for that cartridge. 4.5-14 or a 4-16 is plenty for the ranges you describe for target shooting.
Nobody successfully cleanly kills coyotes at 600-700 yards with any regularity or once in a lifetime with the best of luck. Trying to set up your rifle for this is silly.
The 22-250 and 220 made their bones using a much lighter bullet..I wouldn't shoot anything over the size of a chuck at that range with the Valkyrie. No matter what you read, it doesn't have the horsepower that a 22-250, or 220 Swift has.
Elmer Keith set up his iron sighted 4" revolvers to shoot out to 600 yards.So, once in a lifetime with lots of luck then...
Still silly to set up you rifle for this unlikely event.
