22-250 scope for coyotes

*I posted this in the varmint hunting forum but I thought I would post it here as well.

My wife just got me a Tikka T3 Lite 22-250 for my 30th b-day and now I am trying to figure out what scope to put on it. I will mainly be using it for a calling setup in North Dakota but would also like to use it in Southern MN as well. I was thinking a 4-12 x 40. How well will the 40mm work in the winter with a full moon? I don't really want to strap a 50mm on if I don't have to. I don't want to spend a fortune and the two that jump out at me are the Redfield Revolution and the Nikon Buckmaster. Any input would be appreciated.

4+14 is ok, i prefer a 3+9 because of the larger field of view. i do have a couple nikon scopes and like them. havent used a redfield
