Meopta Meopro 4.5-14x44 BDC vs SWFA 3-9x42

I bought and mounted the Meopro on my Tikka T3X 6.5 Creedmoor, but haven't shot it yet. Picked up the SWFA last week and now I'm torn on which one to put on the rifle. It'll be used to hunt in the mountains of Virginia with a mix of woods and open areas where shots could possibly be up to 600-700 yards on occasion. I've never dialed turrets and have been reading and learning all I can and bought a mildot master to help me learn. Which way would you suggest I go on the scope for this rifle? BDC or dialing?

I have both. The meopta is superior optically but has softer turrets. Both are fine on sub coyote sized game at your distance. I'd likely take the meopta for the optical advantage.....unless I was sold on mils.

Have you Downloaded the Meopta app? if it's anything like the Swaro app and you input info as accurately as possible it'll be right on to at least 500

Yes I do have the Meopta app. Only issue I have with it is it doesn't list the Hornady ELD-x so I'm going to have to shoot and get confirmed drop data to match it to the BDC. Have to do that anyway, so not a big deal.

Agreed. You could enter it as a handload if you have the speed. The ballistic coefficient is on their website.

Agreed. That is what I do for every cal. I shoot. Chrono then enter that data, scope height and all. The more accurate the data going in, the more accurate your results will be downrange.
