    I sighted mine in with a laser, on a bracketed target took all the guess work out of it.. the BDC works fairly well.

    I used a older bushnell to bore site it, I have a new laser one but it did not do to great when we used it on a 30-30 for some reason

    iv got to read up on the bdc and get my yardage for the 22 250 on each cir.

    I think its good to 550-600 yards for the 250.

    Had a 4.5x14x40 Nikon on a Model 70 7mm WSM. Good scope but it would black out on anything above six or seven power in bright light. Sold it and got a Monarch 4-16x42 with BDC. Been happy so far.

    Nikon scopes are the only scopes I use.

    If you are speaking of a 4.5x14x40. You should wait until you have time to completely field test it first. For like I said. The one I had when placed on six, seven power or higher in bright light it would just black out like you stuck your hand over the end of it. In a shade it would do fine. Not being a fan of sun shades on a rifle scope. I just got rid of it and adopted for the Monarch 4-16x42.
