If you like the Warne rings by all means stay with them and disregard the Millett.. Having read over your OP a couple times I think you would be very comfortable with the 1-4 Trijicon accupoint with triangle reticle. I recently acquired a 3-9 Trijicon with the green triangle and it is an outstanding optic. Being you are very comfortable with quick shooting with open sights the Trijicon will feel very natural to you when you shoulder the rifle. You also mention hunting coyotes and wolves. Now I don't know what your laws are in AB but in many States we can hunt dogs at nite outside of normal big game hunting hours. Once again the Trijicon moves to the front. While others may have different opinions I have found that it is quite easy to shoot very precisely with the tip of that triangle in the limited amount of shooting I have done with mine. If the Trijicon is just not in the budget you may also consider the 1-4 Nikon Monarch with #4 reticle or possibly the 1.75-6 Leupold VX3. I ran one of those on my AR for awhile before doing some swapping and selling to acquire some higher end optics and I can honestly say its one I should've kept. I had the heavy duplex which was great in low light but still thin enough in the center to be precise with.
