Scope on my 300BLK
Posted on 1/4/14 at 1:05 pm
Posted on 1/4/14 at 1:05 pm
So I've been looking for a scope for my 300BLKout and initially I was looking at an ACOG, thinking it would fulfill hunting purposes as well as just a general optic for it, but with me building a couple 223/5.56 rifles I've decided to just put a regular scope on it. Plus for the money of an ACOG, I figure I could find a pretty good scope to fulfill my hunting needs and not roll with an $1100-1400 price tag.
Anyway have it narrowed a couple, but am open for suggestions from you guys as well.
Aimpoint 9000L LINK
Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 LINK
or for $100 more
Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10X44 LINK
I'll admit I know jack about scopes, as the only optics I've ever dealt with were in the military and I wasn't a sniper so it was an Aimpoint/EOtech or ACOG for me.

Same situation,
I'm looking at:
SWFA 1X4 OR 1X6
LEUPOLD MARK 6OR8 1X4/5
ACOG
No need for anything with more magnification.

What type of hunting will it be used for?

Can't say much about those models but my 300 BO optic will be a 1-4x for sure.
Keeps a quick target acquisition but lets you reach out past 100 yds fairly easily.

Isn't that like a $2k scope?

Leupold has an AR model 1-4x for around $500 I believe. For $150 more you can get an illuminated reticle as well
Edit - It's a 1.5-4x for $379 or $499

They vary in range from 600 to 2000. Depends on reticle and features. I'm waiting for my can to arrive before dropping the money on a scope though. My AimPoint does just fine.

I just went with a nikon prostaff 3-9x50 on mine with the tallest mounts I could find so I could grab the charging handle easy.

I don't know what you're hunting, but these two aren't' bad options. Good luck.

What's your zero and how far you plan on shooting?
Posted on 1/4/14 at 9:37 pm to Ice Cream Sammich
About 200-250yds maximum. Everything I've read says that round pretty much tops out at 250-300yds which is well within where I hunt.

I would not be shooting deer at 250-300 yards with a 300 black
Posted on 1/4/14 at 9:50 pm to KingRanch
I wouldn't shoot at deer past 150 with 300BO

At 200 yards a 110 gr 300 blackout bullet drops 7 inches. 14" at 250 and 25" at 300. I don't shoot mine over 175 yards at deer. It drops 4.5" at 175.

That's what I was getting at
Posted on 1/4/14 at 10:26 pm to KingRanch
Yeah 200-250 would be the absolute furthest and I don't think it even goes to 250. Most of the lanes are about 120 but there's one about 200 or so.

I'm building a 6.8 spc may be an good option for you. The ballistics are better at longer ranges.

For the ranges he's talking about shooting the 300 blackout is a good round. Any further and the 6.8 or 6.5 creedmoor would be ideal.

He said max of 200-250. That range is not good for a 300 black out at all.
