OhThreeOhTwo Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 I'm looking for thougths on a LR scope since my club in adding a 300 Yd. range. What I've found that is in my $$$ limit are; Vortex Viper 6.5 x 20 x 50 Millett LRS 6 x 25 x 56 with a 35 MM tube Sishtron 36 X 42 MM w/ 1" tube Weaver 36 x 40 MM w/ 1" tube
edgecrusher Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 All those will suffice but are way overkill for 300 yds. Typically its a power of magnification per 100, most prefer 2x per 100, which would say a 3-9x would be enough. I have a 4.5-14 mk 4 Leupold on my Larue, which I find makes it real easy at my club's 300 yd range, and I have shot it out to 550yds at another location easily tracking my shot. Of the scopes listed, my vote would be for the Vortex.
BLKSHEEP Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 Out of the ones you have listed I'd defiantly go with the Vortex Viper. Here's another one that comes to mind http://www.brownells.com/optics-mounting/scopes/rifle-scopes/m-308-4-16x42-riflescopes-prod55012.aspx?avs|Manufacturer_1=NIKON or http://swfa.com/Nikon-M-308-Riflescopes-C4157.aspx it's more $$ but it comes with the 1 piece scope mount. The Vortex warranty is outstanding!
OhThreeOhTwo Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks, one and all, I guess I'm infected with the Mo'power, Mo'Power bug, having used scopes bumped to 18-40 X scopes on my two contenders I use in pistol silhouette standing events.
