scope choice for 220 Swift

[three5x5s]

Mainly Looking at these 3 scopes for a Ruger M77 220 Swift. Thinking the 220 needs the higher magnification. These are all in the 700-800 price range.The Ziess is more money but I wont need to buy new rings for it. Most of my scopes now are Leupold but that doesn't mean I have to stay with them. Ruled out the Swarovski Z3 as 12 power is the top.
Leupold VX5 HD 3-15x44 30mm tube
Tract UHD 3-15x50 30mm tube
Ziess V4 4-16x44 1 inch tube
Meopta MeoStar 4-16x44 30mm tube. adeded this but its out of my price range.
Of the 3 what stands out to you??
Thanks for any input.

What are you planning on doing with the rifle? 220 swift is one of my favorite calibers !

Coyotes mainly. Its 455 yards from the house to one of the hays fields. That would be where most of the shots would be.

personally I would want at least 18 power and would not feel hurt with 24x.
I have several straight 24 x scopes for varmint work.
shoot the heaviest bullet you can and let er rip.

Ya, I hear you on the more power. Friend said he has a straight 36 on his 220. The higher magnification drives up the price pretty quick, I'll have to catch something at a really really good price.

I have a couple 36s and a a couple 45s.

you might feel pinched with a 36 at close range.

Have you considered these scopes: thermal scope (in a link) ? My friend recommended them to me and I agree that they are the most fitting choice for me now. I don't know about you, though.
