Is that what you ordered ? A Nocpix Slim L25 ? Was I wrong about Cameron ?

2.5 - 3.5 base mag is what I would want for coyote hunting. Nothing less and nothing more.
I own a RIX S3 for a buddy scope and a Iray TH50c for a personal scope.
The 384 RIX is much further than a 100yd scope. I would say more like a 300yd scope.
I certainly wouldn't buy a AGM first generation Rattler. My Super Hogster was way nicer than my buddies Rattler because of detector pixel size. Mine was 12um, his was 17um. Smaller is better, better clarity. Plus his reticle sucked.
I paid 3200 for my Hogster, my RIX S3 is nicer for 1500. Almost the same specs. Hogster was a 384-12um with 2.9 base mag. RIX S3 is a 384-12um with a 3.5 base mag. The Rix is smaller, very light, uses 18650 batteries, has shot controlled video. Its a super nice 384 resolution scope.
I killed 3 coyotes a couple of weeks ago with the Iray. Last kill was at 330yds. I could of made that shot with my Rix. Base mag is a huge contributing factor when it comes to buying a scope, so is pixel size and resolution. Nothing less than 384, nothing more than 12um. Nothing less than 2.5 base, nothing more than 3.5 base. In all honesty, I wouldn't go less than 3.
My S3 sits beautifully on my 223 AR

Yes I ordered it while I was on the phone with him at the end of the conversation. Super helpful and gave me a good price on it.

The Nocpix is also a 385-12um and has a 2x base mag. I’m not going to be shooting 200yds, most likely most if not all of my shots are going to be under 100yds. I’m sure 2x will suit my needs well. He also agreed, the Rix is better out to 300yds. This one is also comparable in size to the Rix.
When you get your scope, you'll need to order a few batteries. Wait to get the scope, so you order the right ones. I've bought dozens of batteries from ORBTRONIC. Excellent to deal with. I bought a 4 port smart charger from him too.
The reason I say wait is because I ordered a half dozen batteries (flat top) and then found out I needed button top. DOH !! He was good about the return, and quickly got me what I needed.
