Thread: 300 blackout scope ideas

Any suggestions for a scope for an AR 300 blackout ?

Hold over or dial up

A 1-4

Millett DMS if you can stomach the price or Bushnell Elite 1.25-4x24 for something more reasonable. What's your budget?

iv got a leatherwood cmr in a 30mm rock river cantilever mount if you are interested

Burris 1-4 no doubt about it!

The Loopie 1.5-5 has a reticle for the BLK - both super and Sub sides to it


The Trijicon 1-4 blows the rest out of the water in quality of glass

Ha ha I did not know John Deere did recticals on the side. Lovin the tortoise and hare for sub/super

Didn't know about the Leupold reticle, that's pretty cool.

Suppressors by Percy Engineering check this out bro right at the very end he talks about mildot scopes n shit. using a mil dot scope on my blackout/whiser and sighted it in for 80, if u suss out what dots line-up at what range its pretty close. i.e 2nd mil dot under = 100 yards 3rd 120 or whatever. faster than taking your range finder and dialing. or if u can afford, that mark 4 leupold would be the ultimate

I tried to get a hold of the Leupold with the Blackout reticle but they wanted a cover letter from either NZDF or Police that I was either active Mil or LE, to accompany the DSP-83 (end user cert) and other required import/export docs. As I'm not currently either, I decided to use Nightforce 2.5-10 with the Mildot reticle. I think I'm better off with this than the Loopy which requires you to get your loads running at trajectories to match their reticle. With the mil-dot, you can build a simple dope card to match the dots to whatever range they are going to be. Fortunately, my super-sonic load trajectory ended up close to some easy ranges to remember.

Cross-hair = 0 @100m
1st Dot = 200m (actually 1.2 mil)
2nd Dot = 250m (bang on 2 mil)
3rd Dot = 300m (actually 2.9 mil)
4th Dot = 350m (actually 3.9 mil)
5th Dot (top of post) = 400m (bang on 5 mil)

The new CMR-AK762 has holdover points out to 550. Supersonic only though - more details in the nzar15 dealer section.

So have you bought it yet? I don't think anyone was able to give you a compelling reason not to!

Not yet. On the fence between it and an ACOG. Weight concerns me about the Elcan.

More than offset by the generous eye relief, superb reticle, clarity and illumination I think you'll find.
