Dove hunting scope?

How far are they away? I have an Athlon Argo......but it's not a dove hunting scope.
It works on any type of animal, paper too. Just messing with you.
I use anywhere from 12-18X. But I subscribe to aim small miss small.

Was training to get aid from people on the dove hunting life, looks like is not thst popular in the USA to use pcps for dove... Ammo is cheap here!
But going back to it most shots are 20 to 70 yards away

There are going to be a lot of scopes capable at your stated distances. Maybe state a budget? Are you looking for particular features, etc…

for hunting 12X will do you just fine to 100'. Now for target shooting you want more zoom so you can see your holes in the paper.

Not saying that it's illegal in your State, it is in mine. Since mourning dove fall under a "migratory bird" they are normally hunted using shotgun only.
If you're talking about Eurasian Collared dove, they are considered invasive pests, and can usually be hunted year round using air guns.

what he said
Migratory birds are illegal to hunt with rifles here. Shotgun only and one month or 2 out of the year.

Subjective question. I have an $800 scope & a $125 scope that work equally well. IMHO it mostly depends on shooter's abilities & gun's precision, NOT how much is spent on a scope. What EXACTLY are YOU looking for? Reticle preference? Tube diameter? Illuminated or not? MOA or MIL? How's your eyesight? Etc, etc.
